Drought stress is a key limiting factor for cotton ( spp.) growth, production, development, and production worldwide. Some wild diploid cotton species are remarkably tolerant of water deficit and constitute an important reservoir for understanding the molecular mechanisms of spp.

- Crop wild relatives, like Gossypium anomalum, hold crucial genetic diversity for improving agricultural species, but their integration into breeding faces challenges due to reproduction barriers and limited genomic data.
- A new genome for G. anomalum was created, allowing for the development of 74 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) that incorporate wild genetic material into Gossypium hirsutum cotton cultivars, which included traits for plant height, yield, and fiber quality.
- The study successfully identified two valuable genes related to drought tolerance and fiber strength from G. anomalum, showcasing the potential of using high-quality wild genomes to enhance crop breeding programs.
