  • HERBICIDE TOLERANT COTTON PLANTS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING AND IDENTIFYING SAME
    Publication number: 20090087853
    Abstract: The invention pertains to transgenic cotton plants, plant material and seeds, characterized by harboring a specific transformation event, particularly by the presence of a gene encoding a protein that confers herbicide tolerance, at a specific location in the cotton genome. The cotton plants of the invention combine the herbicide tolerant phenotype with optimal agronomic performance.
    Type: Application
