The invention provides, in one aspect, methods and composition relating to plants, seeds and derivatives of the cotton variety 370001G. Cotton variety 370001G is a widely adapted variety of G. hirsutum with elite agronomic characteristics. The cotton variety 370001G has been judged to be uniform for breeding purposes and testing. The variety can be reproduced by planting and growing seeds of the variety under self-pollinating or sib-pollinating conditions, as is known to those of skill in the agricultural arts. Variety 370001G shows no variants other than what would normally be expected due to environment or that would occur for almost any characteristic during the course of repeated sexual reproduction.
The variety was developed from an initial cross of the lines designated SG125B2 and Coker 312RF. Coker 312RF is a homozygous R3 generation from the Agrobacterium transformation event MON88913, which confers tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate, followed by three cycles of selfing. Selected lines were advanced by two cycles of backcrossing with the line designated SG125BGII as a recurrent parent to the BC2F1 generation. One cycle of selfing was carried out to the BC2F2 generation followed by selection of 91 BC2F2 individuals, and a further field selection of 21 BC2F3 progeny lines for further increase. A winter selection of 8 BC2F4 progeny lines was made followed by a fall selection of 6 BC2F5 varieties, designated 010001G, 370001G, 450001G, 170001G, 530001G and 609088G.

I. BREEDING COTTON VARIETY 370001G
One aspect of the current invention concerns methods for crossing the cotton variety 370001G with itself or a second plant and the seeds and plants produced by such methods. These methods can be used for propagation of the cotton variety 370001G, or can be used to produce hybrid cotton seeds and the plants grown therefrom. A hybrid plant can be used as a recurrent parent at any given stage in a backcrossing protocol during the production of a single locus conversion of the cotton variety 370001G.
The variety of the present invention is well suited to the development of new varieties based on the elite nature of the genetic background of the variety. In selecting a second plant to cross with 370001G for the purpose of developing novel cotton varieties, it will typically be desired to choose those plants which themselves exhibit one or more selected desirable characteristics. Examples of potentially desired characteristics include higher fiber (lint) yield, earlier maturity, improved fiber quality, resistance to diseases and insects, tolerance to drought and heat, and improved agronomic traits.
Any time the cotton variety 370001G is crossed with another, different, variety, first generation (F1) cotton progeny are produced. The hybrid progeny are produced regardless of characteristics of the two varieties produced. As such, an F1 hybrid cotton plant may be produced by crossing 370001G with any second cotton plant. The second cotton plant may be genetically homogeneous (e.g., inbred) or may itself be a hybrid. Therefore, any F1 hybrid cotton plant produced by crossing cotton variety 370001G with a second cotton plant is a part of the present invention.
The cotton flower is monoecious in that the male and female structures are in the same flower. The crossed or hybrid seed can be produced by manual crosses between selected parents. Floral buds of the parent that is to be the female can be emasculated prior to the opening of the flower by manual removal of the male anthers. At flowering, the pollen from flowers of the parent plants designated as male, can be manually placed on the stigma of the previous emasculated flower. Seed developed from the cross is known as first generation (F1) hybrid seed. Planting of this seed produces F1 hybrid plants of which half their genetic component is from the female parent and half from the male parent. Segregation of genes begins at meiosis thus producing second generation (F2) seed. Assuming multiple genetic differences between the original parents, each F2 seed has a unique combination of genes.
A further aspect of the invention relates to tissue cultures of the cotton variety designated 370001G. As used herein, the term “tissue culture” indicates a composition comprising isolated cells of the same or a different type or a collection of such cells organized into parts of a plant. Exemplary types of tissue cultures are protoplasts, calli and plant cells that are intact in plants or parts of plants, such as embryos, pollen, flowers, leaves, roots, root tips, anthers, and the like. In a preferred embodiment, the tissue culture comprises embryos, protoplasts, meristematic cells, pollen, leaves or anthers.
Applicant has made a deposit of at least 2500 seeds of cotton variety 370001G disclosed herein with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), 10801 University Boulevard, Manassas, Va. 20110-2209 USA under ATCC Accession No. PTA-8085. The seeds were deposited with the ATCC on Dec. 15, 2006, and were taken from a deposit maintained by Monsanto Company since prior to the filing date of this application. Access to this deposit will be available during the pendency of the application to the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks and persons determined by the Commissioner to be entitled thereto upon request. The deposit will be maintained for a period of 30 years, or 5 years after the most recent request, or for the enforceable life of the patent, whichever is longer, and will be replaced if it becomes nonviable during that period. Applicant does not waive any infringement of their rights granted under this patent or under the Plant Variety Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 2321 et seq.).
