Enzyme adaptations to temperature occur constantly as temperature patterns modulate diurnally and seasonally. These adaptations entail qualitative and/or quantitative metabolic changes that often provide a competitive advantage, impact adjustment to new environments, and effect the survival of the species. Changes in isozymes or allozymes, changes in enzyme concentration, modification by substrate and effectors, and metabolic regulation of enzyme function without changing enzyme composition are all possible strategies for adaptation to changes in temperature. The degree of adaptation among cotton cultivars to a specific thermal regime may be difficult to determine from phenotypic responses of the plants. The present study evaluated the thermal sensitivity of Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L. cultivars following growth under distinct thermal environments. The metabolic fitness of Gossypium hirsutum L. and Gossypium barbadense L. cultivars showed that the Gossypium hirsutum L. cultivars grown in a 28°C/20°C day/night cycle tended to be better equipped to cope with a 16 h - 38°C treatment than the same cultivars grown in a 38°C/32°C day/night cycle. The Gossypium barbadense L. cultivars, on the other hand, grown in a 38°C/32°C day/night cycle tended to be equipped to cope with a 16 h - 38°C treatment than the same cultivars grown in a 28°C/20°C day/night cycle. The Gossypium hirsutum L. line TX 303 is an exception to these general trends as its responses were similar to the Gossypium barbadense L. St. Vincent and Pima S-7 cottons.
