Abstract

The disclosure relates to a cotton variety, designated PHY495W3RF, the plants and seeds of the cotton variety PHY495W3RF, methods for producing a cotton plant, either varietal or hybrid, produced by crossing the cotton variety PHY495W3RF with itself or with another cotton plant, hybrid cotton seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety PHY495W3RF with another cotton variety or plan, methods for producing a cotton plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes, and the transgenic cotton plants produced by that method. This disclosure also relates to cotton varieties derived from cotton variety PHY495W3RF, to methods for producing other cotton varieties derived from cotton variety PHY495W3RF, and to the varieties derived by the use of those methods.

Claims

1. A seed of cotton variety designated PHY495W3RF, or a part thereof, representative seed of the variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120743 on Dec. 2, 2013.

2. A part of the seed of claim 1 selected from the group consisting of hull (seedcoat), germ and endosperm.

3. The seed of claim 1, further comprising a coating.

4. A substantially homogenous composition of the cotton seed of claim 1.

5. A method for producing a seed of a cotton plant, comprising:

(a) planting the seed of claim 1 in proximity to itself or to different seed from a same variety;

(b) growing plants from the seed under pollinating conditions; and

,

(c) harvesting resultant seed.

6. A cotton seed produced by the method of claim 5.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprising pre-treating the seed of claim 1 before performing step (a).

8. The method of claim 5, further comprising treating the growing plants or soil surrounding the growing plants with an agricultural chemical.

9. A cotton plant produced by growing the seed of claim 1.

10. A part of the cotton plant of claim 9, selected from the group consisting of an intact plant cell, a plant protoplast, embryos, pollen, flowers, seeds, staples, linters, fibers, pods, gossypol glands, leaves, bolls, stems, roots, root tips, and anthers.

11. Fibers of the plant of claim 9.

12. Staples of the plant of claim 9.

13. A cotton plant, or a part thereof, having all the physiological and morphological characteristics of the cotton plant of claim 9.

14. A substantially homogenous population of cotton plants of claim 9.

15. The substantially homogenous population of cotton plants of claim 14, wherein the population is present in a field and the field further comprises other, different cotton plants.

16. A method for producing a cotton plant, comprising:

(a) crossing cotton variety plant PHY495W3RF, representative seed of the variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120743 on Dec. 2, 2013, with another different cotton plant to yield progeny cotton seed.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the other, different cotton plant is a cotton variety.

18. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

(b) growing the progeny cotton seed from step (a) under self-pollinating or sib-pollinating conditions for about 5 to about 7 generations; and

(c) harvesting resultant seed.

19. The method of claim 16, further comprising selecting plants obtained from growing at least one generation of the progeny cotton seed for a desirable trait.

20. A method of introducing a desired trait into cotton variety PHY495W3RF, representative seed of the variety having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-120743 on Dec. 2, 2013, comprising:

(a) crossing PHY495W3RF plants with plants of another cotton variety that comprise a desired trait to produce F₁ progeny plants;

(b) selecting F₁ progeny plants that have the desired trait;

(c) crossing selected progeny plants with PHY495W3RF plants to produce backcross progeny plants;

(d) selecting for backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety PHY495W3RF; and

(e) performing steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the desired trait and all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety PHY495W3RF listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental conditions.
