Water stress reduces cellulose deposition in the cell wall and increases wax content, resulting in decreased fiber quality

IntroductionWater deficiency reduces cotton fiber quality, but the underlying mechanisms behind this decline remain poorly understood. Although the cuticle is critical for plant water homeostasis under drought, few studies have addressed the relationship between water stress, fiber epidermal wax, an...
