- Intervention effect COS-PA application significantly decreased leaf Na+ content by 69.70% in salt-stressed cotton seedlings compared with no COS-PA application.
- Intervention effect COS-PA application increased leaf Ca2+ content in salt-stressed cotton seedlings by 7.22% compared with no COS-PA application.
- Intervention effect COS-PA application increased fresh weight of cotton seedling plant parts by 46.33%-96.36% compared with no COS-PA application.
- Intervention effect COS-PA application increased transpiration rate by 96.65% in salt-stressed cotton seedlings compared with no COS-PA application.
- Intervention effect COS-PA application increased leaf chlorophyll concentration (Chl a) by 44.53% in salt-stressed cotton seedlings compared with no COS-PA application.
- Intervention effect COS-PA application increased actual quantum yield by 27.15% in salt-stressed cotton seedlings compared with no COS-PA application.
- Intervention effect COS-PA application increased stomatal conductance by 168.24% in salt-stressed cotton seedlings compared with no COS-PA application.
- Intervention effect COS-PA application regulated the abundances of L-lactic acid, succinic acid and methylmalonic acid in cotton leaves, alleviating salt stress.
