Potassium Application Increases Cotton (<i>Gossypium hirsutum</i> L.) Fiber Length by Improving K<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup> Homeostasis and Potassium Transport Capacity in the Boll-Leaf System under Moderate Salinity

Potassium Application Increases Cotton (<i>Gossypium hirsutum</i> L.) Fiber Length by Improving K<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup> Homeostasis and Potassium Transport Capacity in the Boll-Leaf System under Moderate Salinity

Cotton has a high salt tolerance. However, due to the high salt content and low K<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup> ratio in saline soils, cotton yield and fiber quality are difficult to improve. To investigate the effects of potassium (K) on cotton fiber length under salt stress, a...
