The invention provides cotton event MON 88701, and plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, and commodity products comprising event MON 88701. The invention also provides polynucleotides specific for event MON 88701 and plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, and commodity products comprising polynucleotides specific for event MON 88701. The invention also provides methods related to event MON 88701.
1. A method of producing a cotton plant that tolerates application of dicamba and glufosinate herbicide comprising:
a) sexually crossing a transgenic cotton plant comprising event MON 88701 comprising a nucleotide molecule having a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1-8 and 10, a representative sample of seed comprising said event MON 88701 having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-11754, and complements thereof, with a second cotton plant;
b) collecting the seed produced from said cross;
c) growing said seed to produce a plurality of progeny plants;
d) treating said plurality of progeny plants with dicamba or glufosinate or dicamba and glufosinate; and
e) selecting a progeny plant comprising said event that is tolerant to dicamba and glufosinate.
2. A method of producing a cotton plant that tolerates application of dicamba and glufosinate herbicide comprising:
a) selfing a transgenic cotton plant comprising event MON 88701 comprising a nucleotide molecule having a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1-8 and 10, a representative sample of seed comprising said event MON 88701 having been deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-11754;
b) collecting the seed produced from said selfing;
c) growing said seed to produce a plurality of progeny plants;
d) treating said plurality of progeny plants with dicamba or glufosinate or dicamba and glufosinate; and
e) selecting a progeny plant comprising said event that is tolerant to dicamba and glufosinate.
