Herbicide tolerant cotton plants and methods for identifying the same
View Patent ↗The invention provides specific transgenic cotton plants, plant material and seeds, characterized in that these products harbor a specific transformation event at a specific location in the cotton genome. Tools are also provided which allow rapid and unequivocal identification of the event in biological samples.
1. A transgenic cotton plant, or cells, parts, seed or progeny thereof, each comprising elite event EE-GH3 in its genome, reference seed comprising said event having been deposited at the ATCC under deposit number PTA-6878.
2. A seed comprising elite event EE-GH3 deposited at the ATCC under deposit number PTA-6878.
3. A cotton plant or a part thereof, or seed therefrom obtained from the seed of claim 2 .
4. A cotton seed comprising elite event EE-GH3, reference seed comprising said event having been deposited at the ATCC under deposit number PTA 6878.
5. A transgenic cotton plant, cell or tissue, comprising elite event EE-GH3, produced from the seed of claim 4 .
6. A method for producing a cotton plant or seed comprising elite event EE-GH3 comprising crossing a plant of claim 1 with another cotton plant, and planting the seed obtained from said cross.
7. Cotton genomic DNA comprising elite event EE-GH3, reference seed comprising said event having been deposited at the ATCC under deposit number PTA-6878.
8. Genomic DNA produced from a cotton plant, plant cell or seed of claim 1 and comprising elite event EE-GH3.
