Abstract

Introduction. The preservation and study of cotton genetic resources are fundamental for ensuring the stability of the textile industry under global climate change. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the diversification of the cotton gene pool is a strategic task for breeding programs aimed at drought resistance and fiber quality.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the adaptive potential, productivity, and fiber technological characteristics of 180 foreign and domestic cotton accessions in the arid conditions of the Turkestan region.
Methods. The research was conducted in 2024–2025 at the "AES of Cotton and Melon Growing" (Plot 44). The assessment followed the State Variety Testing methodology (2015) and Simongulyan’s selection principles. The collection included 50 newly introduced samples (primarily from Turkey) and 130 domestic and world accessions.

Results. Field trials in 2025, characterized by extreme thermal stress (4.3–5.6 °C above normal), identified high-potential genotypes. Among the introduced samples, lines T-104 and T-88 demonstrated superior fiber outturn (40.7–41.2%). In the domestic collection, the PA-4 line reached a record productivity of 52.0 c/ha, exceeding the M-4005 standard by 47%. Additionally, ultra-early maturing lines (104–115 days), such as K-349, were identified as crucial donors for northern cotton-growing zones.

Conclusion. The study confirmed the high efficiency of using Turkish and domestic genetic resources to enhance regional breeding programs. The identified donors of high yield and fiber quality are recommended for integration into hybridization programs to develop climate-resilient cotton varieties.
