Abstract
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a significant fiber crop. Being a major contributor to the textile industry requires continuous care and attention. Cotton is subjected to various biotic and abiotic constraints. Among these, biotic factors including cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) are dominant. CLCuV is a notorious disease of cotton and is acquired, carried, and transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). A cotton plant affected with CLCuV may show a wide range of symptoms such as yellowing of leaves, thickening of veins, upward or downward curling, formation of enations, and stunted growth. Though there are many efforts to protect the crop from CLCuV, long-term results are not yet obtained as CLCuV strains are capable of mutating and overcoming plant resistance. However, systemic-induced resistance using a gene-based approach remained effective until new virulent strains of CLCuV (like Cotton Leaf Curl Burewala Virus and others) came into existence. Disease control by biological means and the development of CLCuV-resistant cotton varieties are in progress. In this review, we first discussed in detail the evolution of cotton and CLCuV strains, the transmission mechanism of CLCuV, the genetic architecture of CLCuV vectors, and the use of pathogen and nonpathogen-based approaches to control CLCuD. Next, we delineate the uses of cutting-edge technologies like genome editing (with a special focus on CRISPR-Cas), next-generation technologies, and their application in cotton genomics and speed breeding to develop CLCuD resistant cotton germplasm in a short time. Finally, we delve into the current obstacles related to cotton genome editing and explore forthcoming pathways for enhancing precision in genome editing through the utilization of advanced genome editing technologies. These endeavors aim to enhance cotton's resilience against CLCuD.

Abstract
Salinity stress is one of the primary threats to agricultural crops resulting in impaired crop growth and development. Although cotton is considered as reasonably salt tolerant, it is sensitive to salt stress at some critical stages like germination, flowering, boll formation, resulting in reduced biomass and fiber production. The mechanism of partial ion exclusion (exclusion of Na+ and/or Cl-) in cotton appears to be responsible for the pattern of uptake and accumulation of harmful ions (Na+ and Cl) in tissues of plants exposed to saline conditions. Maintaining high tissue K+/Na+ and Ca2+/Na+ ratios has been proposed as a key selection factor for salt tolerance in cotton. The key adaptation mechanism in cotton under salt stress is excessive sodium exclusion or compartmentation. Among the cultivated species of cotton, Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) exhibit better salt tolerance with good fiber quality traits as compared to most cultivated cotton and it can be used to improve five quality traits and transfer salt tolerance into Upland or American cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) by interspecific introgression. Cotton genetic studies on salt tolerance revealed that the majority of growth, yield, and fiber traits are genetically determined, and controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Molecular markers linked to genes or QTLs affecting key traits have been identified, and they could be utilized as an indirect selection criterion to enhance breeding efficiency through marker-assisted selection (MAS). Transfer of genes for compatible solute, which are an important aspect of ion compartmentation, into salt-sensitive species is, theoretically, a simple strategy to improve tolerance. The expression of particular stress-related genes is involved in plant adaptation to environmental stressors. As a result, enhancing tolerance to salt stress can be achieved by marker assisted selection added with modern gene editing tools can boost the breeding strategies that defend and uphold the structure and function of cellular components. The intent of this review was to recapitulate the advancements in salt screening methods, tolerant germplasm sources and their inheritance, biochemical, morpho-physiological, and molecular characteristics, transgenic approaches, and QTLs for salt tolerance in cotton.
