Work has been conducted to develop a thrips resistant cotton cultivar using wild and obsolete cotton race stock germplasm from the USDA, French and Russian collections.  Mass screening has identified resistant accessions,  which have been crossed to breeding program elites.  A field trial testing F2s from these crosses is in progress.
