Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for breeding cotton plants containing a recombination event such that quantitative trait loci (“QTL”) on chromosome 11 are present, associated with resistance to both root-knot nematode (“RKN”) and reniform nematode (“REN”) infection (“stacked nematode resistance”). The invention further provides germplasm and the use of germplasm containing such stacked nematode resistance as a source of nematode resistance alleles for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel elite germplasm comprising the stacked nematode resistance trait.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for making a genetically modified cotton plant by regenerating a whole plant from a plant cell that has been transfected with DNA sequences including a gene, the expression of which results in suppression of oil biosynthesis in the developing seed. Plants made according to this method exhibit increased production of fiber. Also disclosed is a method for making a non-genetically modified cotton plant with reduced seed-oil content by selecting native alleles or alleles produced through mutagenesis that result in reduced oil content with resulting enhanced fiber yield. Methods are disclosed for developing commercially acceptable cultivars that contain the cottonseed-oil suppression trait. Plant cells, plant tissues, plant seed and whole plants containing the above DNA sequences and alleles form part of the invention.

Abstract: A novel cotton cultivar, designated DP 2379, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of cotton cultivar DP 2379, to the plants of cotton DP 2379 and to methods for producing a cotton plant by crossing the cultivar DP 2379 with itself or another cotton variety. The invention further relates to hybrid cotton seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar DP 2379 with another cotton cultivar.

Abstract: A method for making a genetically modified plant comprising regenerating a whole plant from a plant cell that has been transfected with DNA sequences comprising a first gene whose expression results in an altered plant phenotype linked to a transiently active promoter, the gene and promoter being separated by a blocking sequence flanked on either side by specific excision sequences, a second gene that encodes a recombinase specific for the specific excision sequences linked to a repressible promoter, and a third gene that encodes the repressor specific for the repressible promoter.
