ABSTRACT
Cotton, “King of Fibers” enjoys a pre-eminent status among all cash crops in the country, being the principal raw material for a flourishing textile industry. Among the various diseases occurring on cotton, the foliar disease Bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum is gaining more importance in recent years because of their increasing incidence. These have been known to occur on all the various cultivated and wild species of cotton in Maharashtra, since many years, in an epiphytotic form on commercially grown varieties, which leads to severe defoliation and substantial yield losses. Seven resistant, seven Moderately resistance and Seven susceptible genotypes to Bacterial blight of cotton were critically examined for their structural and anatomical differences if existing. In resistant genotypes the frequency of stomata was found higher on adaxial and abaxial leaf surface than the susceptible genotypes. The length and width of stomata in resistant genotypes was found less as compared to susceptible genotypes.
Key words: Anatomy, Genotypes, Cotton, Bacterial blight, Race no.18 etc.
