Cotton variety FM 2498GLT
The disclosure provides a new cotton variety FM 2498GLT. The disclosure 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 2498GLT with other plants. The disclosure also relates to plants of variety FM 2498 reproduced by vegetative methods, including but not limited to tissue culture of regenerable cells or tissue from cotton variety FM 2498GLT.
1. A plant or regenerable part thereof or seed of cotton variety FM 2498GLT, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cotton variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA 126942.
2. The plant part of claim 1 , wherein said plant part is a leaf, an ovule, a cell, a root, a flower, or a pod.
3. A plant, or regenerable part thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 1 .
4. A cotton plant having all the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plant of claim 1 , wherein a representative sample of seeds of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA 126942.
5. A cell or tissue culture produced from the plant, or a part thereof, of claim 1 .
6. A cotton plant regenerated from the cell or tissue culture of claim 5 , wherein said plant has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cotton variety FM 2498GLT, when grown under the same environmental conditions, and wherein a representative sample of seed of said cotton variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA 126942.
7. A method of producing the plant of claim 1 , or a part thereof, comprising vegetative reproduction of the plant of cotton variety FM 2498GLT, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cotton variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA 126942.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein said vegetative propagation comprises culturing regenerable cells or tissue from cotton variety FM 2498GLT.
9. A plant, or regenerable part thereof, obtained by vegetative reproduction from the plant, or a part thereof, of claim 1 , wherein said plant or a part thereof has all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cotton variety FM 2498GLT, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cotton variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-126942.
10. A method of producing a F1 hybrid cotton seed, comprising crossing the plant of claim 1 with a different cotton plant and harvesting the resultant F1 hybrid cotton seed.
11. An F1 hybrid cotton seed produced by the method of claim 10 .
12. An F1 hybrid cotton plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing the hybrid seed of claim 11 .
13. A method of introducing a desired trait into a cotton plant, comprising transforming the plant of claim 1 with a transgene that confers the desired trait, wherein the transformed plant otherwise retains all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cotton variety FM 2498GLT and contains the desired trait.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein said desired trait is fiber quality, herbicide resistance, insect or pest resistance, disease resistance, bacterial disease resistance, fungal disease resistance, male sterility, modified carbohydrate metabolism, or modified fatty acid metabolism.
15. A method of introducing a desired trait into a cotton plant, comprising transforming the plant of claim 1 with a transgene that confers the desired trait, wherein the transformed plant retains all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cotton variety FM 2498GLT and contains the desired trait, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cotton variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-126942.
16. A cotton plant produced by the method of claim 15 .
17. A method of introducing a single locus conversion into cotton variety FM 2498GLT, comprising:
(a) crossing a plant of variety FM 2498GLT with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce F1 progeny plants, wherein the single locus confers male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism, or modified cotton fiber characteristics;
(b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the single locus to produce selected F1 progeny plants;
(c) crossing the selected progeny plants with at least a first plant of variety FM 2498GLT to produce backcross progeny plants;
(d) selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus and otherwise comprise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety FM 2498 GLT to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and
(e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the single locus and otherwise comprise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety FM 2498GLT, when grown under the same environmental conditions, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cotton variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-126942.
18. A method of producing a commodity plant product comprising obtaining the commodity plant product from a plant of cotton variety FM 2498GLT, wherein a representative sample of seed of said cotton variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA 126942.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the commodity plant product is lint, seed oil, or seed.
