Project Number: 6406-21000-010-19
Project Type: Trust

Start Date: Jul 01, 2002
End Date: Jun 30, 2007

Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of experimental transgenic cotton lines, constructs, or events developed by Dow AgroSciences containing one or more transgenes for control of selected cotton insects.

Approach:
Selected cotton lines will be grown in field plots and artificially infested with cotton pest species larvae and also grown in plots free of these larvae. Laboratory assays will also be conducted with several species of larvae. Data will be collected to assess the effectiveness of the transgene(s) for control of the primary target pests. The various transgene(s), constructs, or events will also be evaluated for effects on agronomic and fiber properties. Effectiveness of transgenes in different cotton lines will be measured to determine if line by interactions exist.
