A Correction on
Comparative transcriptome and metabolome profiling unveil genotype-specific strategies for drought tolerance in cotton

By Han A, Fu W, Liusui Y, Zhong X, Zhang X, Wang Z, Li Y, Zhang J and Guo Y (2025). Front. Plant Sci. 16:1610552. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2025.1610552

In the published article, Figure 2A contains an error. Upon our verification, it was identified that the labels “A3” and “64-22-3” in Figure 2A were reversed: specifically, the image on the left should be labeled “64-22-3”, while the image on the right should be labeled “A3”. The corrected Figure 2 is provided below.

Figure 2
Plant growth and physiological responses under control and drought conditions. Panel A shows images of plants (64-22-3 and A3) under control (CK) and drought for 10 days. Panels B to G display bar charts comparing various physiological parameters between the two plant types under control and drought stress: Relative Water Content (RWC) (%), Proline (µg/g FW), Malondialdehyde (MDA) (µmol/g FW), Catalase (CAT) (IU/mg FW), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) (IU/mg FW), and Peroxidase (POD) (IU/mg FW). Pink bars represent A3, and blue bars represent 64-22-3. Statistical differences denoted by letters above bars.

Figure 2. Phenotypic and physiological characterization of cotton under normal irrigation and drought conditions. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences among treatment groups at p < 0.05 level. (A) Phenotypic comparison between normally irrigated and drought-stressed cotton plants; (B) Leaf relative water content (RWC, %) in control and drought-treated groups; (C) Proline content (Pro) under normal irrigation and drought stress; (D) Malondialdehyde content (MDA) in control and drought-exposed plants; (E) Catalase (CAT) activity in cotton under well-watered and drought-stress conditions. (F) Superoxide dismutase (SOD) content in cotton under well-watered and drought-stress conditions. (G) Peroxidase (POD) activity in cotton under well-watered and drought stress conditions.
