All these efforts resulted in the development of resilient high yielding cotton varieties. However, the progress through conventional breeding procedures is slow because of long lag periods for developing a variety, little control over the new genetic combinations, unwanted traits and lack of foolproof performance testing system. Genomic assays discovered over the last two decades have made it possible to understand the language of the genome by associating the genes with specific traits. Together with the more recently established gene-editing tools like CRISPR-Cas9, the cotton genome can be tailored much more precisely than ever before. In this regard, genetic information has been harnessed, through (i) sequencing of the progenitor and cultivated cotton species, (ii) ongoing mega pan-genome sequencing projects, (iii) genetic and physical mapping, and (iv) introgression of genes from alien sources, that resulted in the development of resilient cotton cultivars. These technologies have been deployed or are attempting to overcome the challenges of water shortage, excessive heat in most cotton growing regions, infectious diseases and infestation of insect pests, as well as rising production cost, for sustainable cotton production beyond 2030. In this book, new knowledge generated by the cotton research community and its application for developing resilient cotton are comprehensively summarized. This book contributed by well-known cotton researchers is a timely collection of the challenges and successes of precision cotton breeding in a changing environment. 001437363 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 22, 2021). 001437363 650_0 $$aCotton$$xGenetics. 001437363 650_0 $$aCotton$$xBreeding. 001437363 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001437363 7000_ $$aMehboob-ur-Rahman,$$eeditor. 001437363 7001_ $$aZafar, Yusuf,$$cDr,$$eeditor. 001437363 7001_ $$aZhang, Tianzhen,$$eeditor. 001437363 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tCotton precision breeding.$$dCham : Springer, [2021]$$z3030645037$$z9783030645038$$w(OCoLC)1202052489 001437363 852__ $$bebk 001437363 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-64504-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001437363 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1437363$$pGLOBAL_SET 001437363 980__ $$aBIB 001437363 980__ $$aEBOOK 001437363 982__ $$aEbook 001437363 983__ $$aOnline 001437363 994__ $$a92$$bISE
