Key Elements of Cotton States Model
• Research and Development– Competitive germplasm and superior technology
– Variety performance testing
– Technological edge in breeding
• Operations– Cotton seed manufacturing
![Page 3: monsanto MON_06/25/04d](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103018/55a2d88c1a28ab9c7d8b4682/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Competitive Germplasm…Two Sources:
1) Outside OriginatorsIn-licensed from private and public sector cotton breeders
2) In-house Breeding Program• Conventional Plant Breeding
• Molecular Marker Platform
• Marker-Assisted Breeding: variety development
• Marker-Assisted Backcrossing: expedited trait conversion
![Page 4: monsanto MON_06/25/04d](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103018/55a2d88c1a28ab9c7d8b4682/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Trait Introgression (TI)– Bollgard II® and Roundup Ready® Flex Cotton
– Germplasm must meet criteria for entry into TI
– Advanced, through backcrossing, to lines fixed for: • Stacked Bollgard II / Roundup Ready Flex Cotton (“B2RF”)
• Roundup Ready Flex Cotton alone (“RF”)
– Returned to Originator for variety selection
– Rigorous quality control throughout the process
… and Superior Technology

Variety Performance Testing
• Replicated Yield Trials– Cotton States Conventional Trials
– Cotton States Transgenic Lines
• Gene Equivalency Trials – to ascertain trait performance
• Demonstration Strip Plots– for potential “Out-licensees”

2004 Cotton States Field Trials
Cotton States Trial
• Designed to assess performance and geographic adaptation of Cotton States varieties
• 44 tests at more than 20 sites across the Cotton Belt
• More locations to be added each year

Technological Edge in Breeding
Molecular Marker PlatformA “Marker”:• is a unique genetic characteristic, easily classified
• must display detectable variation among individuals
• may, or may not, be a gene itself
To be useful in breeding, a marker should:• be linked to a gene, or genes, of interest
• demonstrate reproducible results
• be amenable to high through-put and low cost

Different banding patterns for a given marker are called: “Alleles”

Use of Molecular Markers in Breeding
Population development
Molecular Mapping
Data analysis to identify statistical association between marker alleles and field performance for a given characteristic

Targets for Genetic Improvement• Yield
– seed cotton yield– lint yield
• Fiber quality– length– strength– fineness– uniformity
• Stress tolerance– disease – nematode– insect– abiotic (drought, cold, etc.)
![Page 12: monsanto MON_06/25/04d](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103018/55a2d88c1a28ab9c7d8b4682/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cotton States R&D Objectives
Excellent execution in lab, field & greenhouse:
• Efficient and cost-effective operations
• High-throughput (“numbers game”)
• Quality data: accurate, consistent, timely
• Emphasis on employee health and environmental safety
• Continual process improvements

Cotton Seed Manufacturing Process
• Crop Production
• Harvest of seed cotton
• Processing: – Ginning – to separate fiber from seed (“fuzzy seed”)
– Delinting – to clean seed of residual fibers (“linters”)
• Packaging (cleaning, treatment, bagging)
• Storage / Shipping

Status of 1st Cotton States B2/RF Varieties• Initiation: Breeder Seed Increase
– Winter season production, 2003-04– New seed processing facility in Puerto Rico
• “Product”: Foundation Seed Increase– US field season production, 2004
