Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants, plant parts and derivatives of the cotton variety 12R249B2R2. Also provided by the invention are methods of using cotton variety 12R249B2R2 and products derived therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing cotton plants by crossing the cotton variety 12R249B2R2 with itself or another cotton variety and plants and seeds produced by such methods. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A plant of cotton variety 12R249B2R2, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-122011. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A plant part of the plant of claim 1, wherein the plant part comprises at least one cell of said plant. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The plant part of claim 2, further defined as pollen, a meristem, a cell, or an ovule. ### Claim 4 A seed of cotton variety 12R249B2R2, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-122011. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A method of producing cotton seed, wherein the method comprises crossing the plant of claim 1 with itself or a second, distinct cotton plant. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the method comprises crossing the plant of cotton variety 12R249B2R2 with a second, distinct cotton plant to produce an F1 hybrid cotton seed. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) An F1 hybrid cotton seed produced by the method of claim 6. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) An F1 hybrid cotton plant produced by growing the seed of claim 7. ### Claim 9 (depends on 4) A composition comprising the seed of claim 4 comprised in plant seed growth media, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-122011. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The composition of claim 9, wherein the growth media is soil or a synthetic cultivation medium. ### Claim 11 A plant produced by introducing a single locus conversion into cotton variety 12R249B2R2, or a selfed progeny thereof comprising the single locus conversion, wherein the single locus conversion was introduced into cotton variety 12R249B2R2 by backcrossing or genetic transformation and wherein a sample of seed of cotton variety 12R249B2R2 has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-122011. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The plant of claim 11, wherein the single locus conversion comprises a transgene. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) A seed that produces the plant of claim 11. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The seed of claim 13, wherein the single converted locus confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect or pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, abiotic stress resistance, a sequence which allows for site-specific genetic recombination, modified carbohydrate metabolism and modified cotton fiber characteristics. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The seed of claim 14, wherein the single converted locus confers tolerance to an herbicide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate, sulfonylurea, imidazolinone dicamba, glufosinate, phenoxy propionic acid, cyclohexanedione, triazine, benzonitrile, and bromoxynil. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The seed of claim 14, wherein the trait is insect resistance and said single converted locus comprises a transgene encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) endotoxin. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The seed of claim 14, wherein the single locus conversion comprises a transgene. ### Claim 18 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein the method further comprises: (a) crossing a plant grown from said F1 hybrid cotton seed with itself or a different cotton plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation; (b) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from said seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second plant to produce a progeny plant of a further subsequent generation; and (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) using said progeny plant of a further subsequent generation from step (b) in place of the plant grown from said F1 hybrid cotton seed in step (a), wherein steps (a) and (b) are repeated with sufficient inbreeding to produce an inbred cotton plant derived from the cotton variety 12R249B2R2. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, further comprising crossing said inbred cotton plant derived from the cotton variety 12R249B2R2 with a plant of a different genotype to produce a seed of a hybrid cotton plant derived from the cotton variety 12R249B2R2. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) A method of producing a commodity plant product comprising collecting the commodity plant product from the plant of claim 1, wherein a sample of seed of said variety has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-122011. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The method of claim 20, wherein the commodity plant product is lint, seed oil, or seed.
