Fig. 5

Histogram visualization illustrates the frequency distribution of antioxidant enzyme activities and stress markers across 40 cotton genotypes under three treatments: T1 (green) control condition (100% field capacity), T2 (orange) moderate drought stress (60% field capacity), and T3 (purple) severe drought stress (40% field capacity). The traits include (A) Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity, (B) Peroxidase (POD) activity, (C) Catalase (CAT) activity, (D) Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) activity, (E) Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) content, and (F) Malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Overlaid smooth lines represent kernel density estimations (KDE), providing a clear view of the probability distribution of each trait under the different drought conditions, highlighting variations and central tendencies across the genotypes.
