Changes in secondary metabolites and fiber quality of cotton () seed under consecutive water stress and in silico analysis of cellulose synthase and xyloglucan endotransglucosylase.

Global warming has led to severe drought conditions. The selection of plant varieties that can withstand drought and produce increased yields are of utmost importance. In the current study, secondary metabolites, seed trait and fiber characteristic of cottonseeds () exposed to double and third water stress exposure was investigated.
