Speed breeding (SB) compresses the generation interval by 30\u201380% through synergistic optimisation of LED spectra, temperature, nutrition, and immature embryo rescue (IER). However, SB alone is a temporal accelerator, not a breeding system: its transformative potential is realised only when it functions as the central engine of a genomics-assisted speed breeding (GASB) platform that integrates molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS), genomic selection (GS), CRISPR and New Genomic Technique (NGT) editing, high-throughput phenotyping (HTP), and AI-assisted decision-support tools. Building on previous reviews of cotton speed breeding and genomics-assisted breeding, the present review provides a mechanistic and implementation-oriented synthesis of these complementary technologies within a unified GASB framework. We evaluate: (i) the molecular architecture of photoperiodic flowering in predominantly\n                    <jats:italic>Gossypium hirsutum<\/jats:italic>\n                    , together with currently available evidence from other\n                    <jats:italic>Gossypium<\/jats:italic>\n                    species where appropriate and its manipulation through LED protocol design and CRISPR targeting of flowering suppressors; (ii) the mechanistic basis of multi-channel LED recipe design from SB 1.0 to SB 3.0; (iii) stage-specific thermal management including the operationally critical 33\u00b0C pollen safety ceiling; (iv) nutritional physiology, phytohormones, and biochemical monitoring; (v)\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    biotechnologies\u2014including callus culture, microspore-derived doubled haploids, and immature embryo rescue (IER)\u2014together with the operational coordination of immature embryo rescue and pollen-stage temperature management within speed-breeding facilities; (vi) high-throughput phenotyping technologies experimentally validated in cotton, encompassing five cotton-specific applications reviewed in a dedicated section; and (vii) AI-assisted phenotyping and digital twin architectures for real-time decision support within the GASB pipeline. Critical analysis identifies allotetraploid genome redundancy, genotype \u00d7 light environment (G\u00d7L) interaction with landrace germplasm, IER scalability, bioinformatics infrastructure gaps, SB-to-field correlation uncertainties, and SVT regulatory requirements as the primary barriers to widespread GASB deployment.
