Zusammenfassung:Due to the increasing demand for high-quality and high fiber-yielding cotton (Gossypium spp.), research into the development of stress-resilient cotton cultivars has acquired greater significance. Various biotic and abiotic stressors greatly affect cotton production and productivity, posing challenges to the future of the textile industry. Moreover, the content and quality of cottonseed oil can also potentially be influenced by future environmental conditions. Apart from conventional methods, genetic engineering has emerged as a potential tool to improve cotton fiber quality and productivity. Identification and modification of genome sequences and the expression levels of yield-related genes using genetic engineering approaches have enabled to increase both the quality and yields of cotton fiber and cottonseed oil. Herein, we evaluate the significance and molecular mechanisms associated with the regulation of cotton agronomic traits under both normal and stressful environmental conditions. In addition, the importance of gossypol, a toxic phenolic compound in cottonseed that can limit consumption by animals and humans, is reviewed and discussed. •Biotic and abiotic stress have a significant impact on cotton yield and productivity.•Gossypol is a poisonous phenolic chemical and cottonseed anti-nutrient.•Genetic engineering has helped increase cotton fiber and cottonseed oil quality and yields by identifying and modifying gene sequences and expression levels.•Research done to date on ways to lower gossypol levels in cotton seeds are summarized.
