New Transgenic Fibermax Varieties

J.K. Dever


ABSTRACT

Aventis Crop Science has released new transgenic FiberMax cotton varieties in 2001, including FM 832 B, tested as EXP0043, FM 991 R, tested as EXP0991, FM 989 R, tested as EXP1003, and FM 989 BR, tested as EXP0055. These varieties were initially developed in the CSIRO breeding program, and were tested as elite strains by Aventis. These lines will be the first Aventis transgenic variety introductions and are targeted to mid- and full season production in the Southeast, Midsouth, South Texas and Far West. These varieties provide a yield and fiber quality package similar to their recurrent parent with insect protection of the Bollgard gene and resistance to over-the-top applications of Roundup Ultramax.
