High-temperature stress reduces the endotoxin expression of the insecticidal gene (Cry1Ac) in transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton and affects nitrogen metabolism. However, its effects on Cry1Ac endotoxin expression after high-temperature stress termination remain unclear. In order to investigate the effect of high-temperature stress on the expression of insecticidal proteins in Bt cotton squares, the conventional Sikang-1 cultivar and hybrid Sikang-3 cultivar were used as the experimental materials. The potted cotton plants in the squaring stage were moved to an artificial climatic chamber at 38 °C for 72 h and 96 h in 2017 and 2018, respectively, and plants were moved to the climate chamber where the control cotton plants were located (at 27 °C). Then, cotton squares were collected to measure the Bt protein concentration and nitrogen metabolism physiology at 0, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after high-temperature stress termination, respectively. The Cry1Ac endotoxin expression of the squares could be recovered to the corresponding control level and a longer recovery time was required as the high-temperature stress period increased. Therefore, the recovery degree of Cry1Ac endotoxin expression of cotton squares can be predicted according to the duration of high-temperature stress, which may provide a reference for the rational control of Helicoverpa armigera and related pests in cotton production.
