‘Siokra L-23i’<br />
Application No: 96/151 Accepted: 6 Aug 1996<br />
Applicant: CSIRO Division of Plant Industry, Cotton<br />
Research Unit, Narrabri, NSW.<br />
Description (Table 12, Figure 39): Plant: tall, maturity<br />
medium-late (180 days to mature). Leaf: digitate; pubescence<br />
of midrib very slight; gossypol and nectary glands present.<br />
Flower: petals cream. Boll: size large, elliptical; bract size<br />
large (53mm x 32 mm). Seed: size medium. Lint: proportion<br />
high (0.40); fibre length medium (1.16 in), strength medium<br />
(29g/tex), micronaire value medium (3.8). Bacterial blight<br />
resistant; verticillium wilt tolerance low.<br />
Origin: Controlled pollination: ‘93417’ x ‘Siokra L23’ A (the<br />
fourth backcross of ‘Siokra L23’onto ‘Coker 312’ containing<br />
the Monsanto Cry IA(c) Bt gene and its controlling sequences<br />
(<strong>Australia</strong>n Patent <strong>Number</strong> 638438) derived from Bacillus<br />
thuringiensis var kurstaki). Breeder: Dr GA Constable,<br />
CSIRO, Narrabri, NSW. Selection criteria: presence of Bt<br />
gene, plant habit, resistance to bacterial blight, leaf hairiness,<br />
okra leaf, fibre quality and yield.<br />
Comparative Trials: Comparator: ‘Siokra L23’. Location:<br />
<strong>Australia</strong>n Cotton Research Institute, Narrabri, NSW 1995-<br />
1996 and 1996-1997 Trial design: randomised complete<br />
block with three replications. Measurements: morphological<br />
measurements on <strong>10</strong> plants from each plot; lint percentage<br />
and fibre quality data from six trials in 1995-1996.<br />
Prior Application and Sales: Nil<br />
