Benefits of technology

[0009]The present invention also provides for an elite cotton plant produced by: a) providing a population of cotton plants; b) genotyping at least one cotton plant in the population with respect to a cotton genomic nucleic acid marker selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NOs: 1-38; and c) selecting from the population at least one cotton plant comprising at least one allele associated with RKN resistance. The elite cotton plant of the present invention can exhibit a transgenic trait. The transgenic trait is selected from the group consisting of herbicide tolerance, increased yield, insect control, fungal disease resis...

Phenotypic Rating Scale

[0163]To asses the reaction of plants to RKN, cotton plants were grown in growth chambers and artificially inoculated with 2,500 nematode eggs approximately 7 days after emergence. Plant roots were examined for galling 45-50 days after inoculation. A galling index of 0 (no galls) to 5 (100% roots with galls) was used to rate the plants. Table 1 provides the phenotypic rating scale used to identify RKN reaction in cotton plants.

Identification of SNP Markers Associated with RKN Resistance

[0164]A mapping population was developed from the cross of the RKN resistant parent M240 with RKN susceptible parent 33B. A total of 250 near-isogenic lines (NILs) were developed for the mapping population. Ten replicates of each line were evaluated for reaction to RKN as described in Example 1.

[0165]Eleven SNP markers located on Chromosome A11 were used to screen the NIL mapping population. Of these, SNP marker NG0204877 was found to be highly associated with RKN resistance. Of 248 lines screened, the mean galling index of lines with the TT genotype was significantly lower than those with the AA genotype. Table 2 provides the mean galling index for lines with the genotype AA, AT, and TT. A t-test analysis was performed and the p-value for no mean difference between AA and TT genotypes on the galling index was 3.84×10−82. The marker NG0204877 is on Chromosome A11 at position 181.1.

Use of SNP markers for Monitoring RKN Resistance

[0166]Additional SNP markers are located on Chromosome A11. Table 3 provides the marker names, chromosome position, and the position of the polymorphism in the marker, and alleles.

[0167]In a breeding program, one or more markers provided in Table 3 can be used to select for and to introgress RKN resistance into a cotton plant. A cotton breeder can select one or more markers which are polymorphic between parents in a breeding cross to select progeny with the genotype of the RKN resistant parent.

Abstract

The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically, the invention provides a method for breeding cotton plants containing one or more quantitative trait loci that are associated with resistance to Root Knot Nematode(RKN), a disease associated with Meloidogyne incognita. The invention further provides germplasm and the use of germplasm containing quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring disease resistance for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel elite germplasm comprising one or more RKN resistance QTL.
