Fig. 1From: Impact of water deficiency on leaf cuticle lipids and gene expression networks in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)The effect of WD on the physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety tolerant (XL22) or sensitive (XL17) to drought. A Comparison of plant height. B Comparison of leaf area. C the relative water content of leaves. SS, seedling stage; BS, bud stage. WW, well-watered; WD, water deficit. Error bars are standard errors. Values represent the means ± SE, n = 3. Different letters above the bars indicate statistically different from each other as determined by the Student’s t test: p < 0.05Back to article page
