Cotton variety st 5115glt

Abstract

The cotton variety ST 5115GLT is disclosed. The invention relates to seeds, plants, plant cells, plant tissue, harvested products and cotton lint as well as to hybrid cotton plants and seeds obtained by repeatedly crossing plants of variety ST 5115GLT with other plants. The invention also relates to plants and varieties produced by the method of essential derivation from plants of ST 5115GLT and to plants of ST 5115GLT reproduced by vegetative methods, including but not limited to tissue culture of regenerable cells or tissue from ST 5115GLT.

         2 . A plant, or a part thereof, produced by growing the seed of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         3 . A plant, or a part thereof, obtained by vegetative reproduction from the plant, or a part thereof, of  claim 2 , said plant, or a part thereof, expressing all the phenotypic characteristics of cotton variety ST 5115GLT, a sample of seed of cotton variety ST 5115GLT having been deposited under XXXXXX Accession No. YYYYYY. 
     
     
         4 . A process of vegetative reproduction of cotton variety ST 5115GLT comprising, culturing regenerable cells or tissue from ST 5115GLT, a sample of seed of cotton variety ST 5115GLT having been deposited under XXXXXX Accession No. YYYYYY. 
     
     
         5 . A cell or tissue culture produced from the plant, or a part thereof, of  claim 2 . 
     
     
         6 . A cotton plant regenerated from the cell or tissue culture of  claim 5 , said plant expressing all the phenotypic characteristics of ST 5115GLT, a sample of seed of cotton variety ST 5115GLT having been deposited under XXXXXX Accession No. YYYYYY. 
     
     
         7 . A method of producing a Fl hybrid cotton seed, comprising the steps of crossing the plant of  claim 2  with a different cotton plant and harvesting the resultant Fl hybrid cotton seed. 
     
     
         8 . A F1 hybrid cotton seed produced by the method of  claim 7 . 
     
     
         9 . A F1 hybrid cotton plant, or part thereof, produced by growing the hybrid seed of  claim 8 . 
     
     
         10 . A plant obtained by the vegetative reproduction of the cotton plant of  claim 9 . 
     
     
         11 . A method of producing a cotton seed comprising the steps of crossing the plant of  claim 10  with a different cotton plant and harvesting the resultant cotton seed. 
     
     
         12 . A method of introducing a desired trait into a cotton plant, the method comprising, transforming the plant of  claim 2  with a transgene that confers the desired trait, wherein the transformed plant retains all the phenotypic characteristics of cotton variety ST 5115GLT and contains the desired trait. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said desired trait is fiber quality, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, bacterial disease resistance or fungal disease resistance. 
     
     
         14 . A method of introducing a desired trait into a cotton plant, the method comprising transforming the plant of  claim 9  with a transgene that confers the desired trait, wherein the transformed plant retains all the phenotypic characteristics of cotton variety ST 5115GLT and contains the desired trait, seed of cotton variety ST 5115GLT having been deposited as XXXXX Accession No. YYYYYYYY. 
     
     
         15 . A cotton plant produced by the method of  claim 12 . 
     
     
         16 . A method of introducing a single locus conversion into cotton variety ST 5115GLT comprising:
 (a) crossing a plant of variety ST 5115GLT 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 ST 5115GLT to produce backcross progeny plants;   (d) selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus and all physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety ST 5115GLT 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 ST 5115GLT when grown in the same environmental conditions, a sample of seed of cotton variety ST 5115GLT having been deposited under XXXXXX Accession No. YYYYYY.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the single locus confers a trait selected from the group consisting of male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect or pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism, and modified cotton fiber characteristics. 
     
     
         18 . An Essentially Derived Variety of ST 5115GLT having one, two or three physiological and/or morphological characteristics which are different from those of ST 5115GLT and which otherwise has all the physiological and morphological characteristics of ST 5115GLT, wherein a representative sample of seed of variety ST 5115GLT has been deposited as XXXXX Accession No. YYYYYYYY.
