Glandless cotton can be grown to obtain cotton seeds free of toxic gossypol for use as both food and feed. However, they are not grown normally due to their lesser productivity and higher susceptibility to biotic stress. Great attention has been paid to biotic stresses rather than abiotic stresses on glandless cotton. Chromium (Cr) is a common pollutant of soil and considered a serious threat to plants due to its adverse effects on different functions. Although numerous studies are available on the toxicity of Cr
