Benefits of technology

The invention is about using a specific variety of cotton plant, called FM 1888 GL, to create new plants and seeds. The invention also includes methods for regenerating these plants from embryogenic cells. The technical effect of the invention is the creation of new plant varieties with specific characteristics that make them better suited for certain uses, such as agricultural production or textile manufacturing. Additionally, the invention allows for the creation of new cotton seeds by crossbreeding the FM 1888 GL plants with other cotton plants.

Problems solved by technology

Due to the environment, the complexity of the structure of genes and location of a gene in the genome, among other factors, it is difficult to predict the phenotypic expression of a particular genotype.
In addition, a plant breeder may only apply his skills on the phenotype and not, or in a very limited way, on the level of the genotype.
As a result, a particular plant breeder cannot breed the same variety twice using the same parents and the same methodology.

Embodiment Construction

[0007]The invention has been obtained by a general breeding process comprising the steps outlined below. For reference, see chapter 11, “Breeding Self-Pollinated Crops by Hybridization and Pedigree Selection” in Briggs and Knowles (1967).

[0008]Parent plants, which have been selected for good agronomic and fiber quality traits are manually crossed in different combinations. The resulting F1 (Filial generation 1) plants are self fertilized and the resulting F2 generation plants, which show a large variability on account of optimal gene segregation, are planted in a selection field.

[0009]These F2 plants are observed during the growing season for health, growth vigor, plant type, plant structure, leaf type, stand ability, flowering, maturity, seed yield, boll type, boll distribution, boll size, fiber yield and fiber quality. Plants are then selected. The selected plants are harvested and the bolls analyzed for fiber characteristics and the seed cleaned and stored. This procedure is repe...

Abstract

The cotton variety FM 1888GL is disclosed. The invention relates to seeds, plants, plant cells, plant tissue, harvested products and cotton lint as well as to hybrid cotton plants and seeds obtained by repeatedly crossing plants of variety FM 1888GL with other plants. The invention also relates to plants and varieties produced by the method of essential derivation from plants of FM 1888GL and to plants of FM 1888GL reproduced by vegetative methods, including but not limited to tissue culture of regenerable cells or tissue from FM 1888GL.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to the field of plant breeding. More particularly, the invention relates to a variety of cotton designated as FM 1888GL, its essentially derived varieties and the hybrid varieties obtained by crossing FM 1888GL as a parent line with plants of other varieties or parent lines.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Cotton is an important, fiber producing crop. Due to the importance of cotton to the textile industry, cotton breeders are increasingly seeking to obtain healthy, good yielding crops of excellent quality.[0003]Cotton is commonly reproduced by self-pollination and fertilization. This type of sexual reproduction facilitates the preservation of plant and variety characteristics during breeding and seed production. The preservation of these characteristics is often important to plant breeders for producing cotton plants having desired traits. Other methods of producing cotton plants having desired traits are also used and include meth...
