- Intervention effect Root dry weight increased in both cotton cultivars after drought.
- Intervention effect Cotton yield increased in both cultivars after drought.
- Intervention effect CCRI-45 yield exceeded control after six-day drought.
- Intervention effect CCRI-60 yield fell below control after six-day 45% SRWC drought.
- Intervention effect Root soluble sugar and proline content rose during drought then fell after re-watering while briefly remaining above controls.
- Intervention effect Root SOD and POD activity rose during drought then fell after re-watering while briefly remaining above controls.
- Intervention effect Root CAT activity and GA content decreased under drought.
- Intervention effect Root CAT activity rose above controls after re-watering following six-day drought.
- Intervention effect Root GA content rose above controls after re-watering following six-day drought.
- Intervention effect Root ABA content increased under drought.
- Intervention effect Root ABA content after re-watering dropped below controls.
- Mechanism ABA and GA signaling interaction may contribute to root growth compensation.
- Observation Moderate drought was concluded to benefit cotton root growth and yield.
