Global warming has led to severe drought conditions. The selection of plant varieties that can withstand drought and produce increased yields are of utmost importance. In the current study, secondary metabolites, seed trait and fiber characteristic of cottonseeds (Gossypium hirsutum) exposed to double and third water stress exposure was investigated. Total phenol and tannin content in W1S33 increased significantly after third water stress exposure. Accumulation of wax was enhanced in seeds of W3S33 and W3S34 that were subjected to third water stress. Fiber quality parameters decreased when cottonseeds were rainfed. High irrigation resulted in fragile and delicate fiber. Seeds grown under 66% FC irrigation saved water and produced seeds that had the potential of producing high quality fibers. In silico analysis was performed on cellulose synthase A (CesA) and xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) enzymes present in Gossypium hirsutum. The intracellular locations of the CesA and XET1 enzymes are the plasma membrane and cell wall, respectively. Proline is conserved in the C-terminal of the CesA enzyme and plays an important role in enzyme functionality. This study provides a better understanding as to the mechanisms by which the plant can tolerate and combat water stress conditions as well as reduce water consumption. In order to grow cotton seeds with desirable morphometric characteristics and optimal fibers under water stress exposure and in dry areas, it is better to use seeds that are irrigated under optimal irrigation conditions, ie 66% FC.
