Abstract
The invention relates to the novel cotton variety designated STX0502RF. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants, plant parts and derivatives of the cotton variety STX0502RF. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the cotton variety STX0502RF and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing cotton plants by crossing the cotton variety STX0502RF with itself or another cotton variety and plants produced by such methods.
Claims24
A seed of cotton variety STX0502RF, wherein a representative sample of seed of said variety was deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-9903.
A method of introducing a single locus conversion into cotton variety STX0502RF comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of variety STX0502RF, a representative sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-9903, with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce F1 progeny plants;
- (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 STX0502RF to produce backcross progeny plants;
- (d) selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus and physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety STX0502RF 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 STX0502RF when grown in the same environmental conditions.
A method of producing an inbred cotton plant derived from the cotton variety STX0502RF, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing a progeny plant derived from cotton variety STX0502RF, a representative sample of seed of said variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-9903, by crossing cotton variety STX0502RF with a cotton plant of a second variety;
- (b) crossing the progeny plant with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation;
- (c) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from said seed and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second plant;
- and
- (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) for an additional 3-10 generations with sufficient inbreeding to produce an inbred cotton plant derived from the cotton variety STX0502RF.
