Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to methods for breeding cotton plants containing a recombination event such that quantitative trait loci ("QTL") on chromosome 11 are present, associated with resistance to both root-knot nematode ("RKN") and reniform nematode ("REN") infection ("stacked nematode resistance"). The invention further provides germplasm and the use of germplasm containing such stacked nematode resistance as a source of nematode resistance alleles for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel elite germplasm comprising the stacked nematode resistance trait. |
