This study elucidates the physiological and molecular response mechanisms of high temperature stress on cotton growth and flowering, emphasizing the importance of cotton in global agriculture and the potential threat of high temperature stress to its production. In the basic physiological processes of cotton growth and flowering, the key characteristics of cotton at different growth stages and the importance of hormone regulation in these processes are elaborated in detail. In the physiological effects of high temperature stress, changes in roots, leaves, stems, and water regulation were deeply explored, revealing the adaptive mechanism of cotton in response to high temperature stress. In addition, this study also analyzed the effects of high temperature stress on gene expression, protein synthesis and degradation, and metabolic pathways, revealing the regulatory mechanisms at the molecular level. We propose a comprehensive experimental design and data analysis strategy for the research methodology. Finally, in the research progress and findings, challenges and future directions, conclusions, we have summarized the results of previous studies and pointed out possible future research directions. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of cotton physiology and molecular research under high temperature stress, and to provide guidance for agricultural practice and future research.
