conventional management. Trial design: 15-entry trial in a<br />
row and column design with four replicates and three or<br />
four row x <strong>14</strong>m plots. Measurements: lint % and fibre<br />
quality measurements taken on a 400g subsample from the<br />
whole centre row harvest. Fibre quality was measured on a<br />
Zellweger Uster HVI 900 instrument.<br />

‘Sicala V-3RRi’<br />
Application No: 2000/324 Accepted: 17 Nov 2000.<br />
Applicant: CSIRO Plant Industry, Cotton Research<br />
Unit, Narrabri, NSW.<br />
Characteristics (Table 16, Figure 41a and 41b) Plant:<br />
shape conical, height medium, maturity medium (173 days<br />
to mature), foliage density medium. Leaf: palmate, very<br />
slight pubescence of midrib, gossypol and nectary glands<br />
present. Flower: colour of petals cream, stigma distance<br />
above stamens long (mean 3.5mm). Boll: size large, shape<br />
ovate, pitting of surface fine, length of peduncle medium<br />
(mean 26mm), prominence of tip medium, opening<br />
medium, bract size large (52mm x 31mm). Seeds: density<br />
of fuzz medium. Lint: proportion high (0.40), length<br />
medium (29.3mm), strength high (30.9 g/tex), micronaire<br />
medium (4.0). Disease: resistant to bacterial blight<br />
(Xanthomonas campestris pv malvacearum), good<br />
tolerance to verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae).<br />
Transgenes: Ingard ® gene incorporated for lepidopteran<br />
insect control, Roundup Ready® gene incorporated for<br />
tolerance to glyphosate herbicide.<br />
PLANT VARIETIES JOURNAL 2001 VOL <strong>14</strong> NO. 2<br />
Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />
breeding line 95410 x pollen parent breeding line 95608 in<br />
a planned breeding program at the <strong>Australia</strong>n Cotton<br />
Research Institute (ACRI), Narrabri NSW. The seed parent<br />
95410 is distinguished from ‘Sicala V-3RRi’ by the absence<br />
of the Roundup Ready® gene. The pollen parent 95608 is<br />
distinguished from ‘Sicala V-3RRi’ by the absence of the<br />
Ingard® gene. Single plant selection followed by progeny<br />
row and multiple environment trials were carried out.<br />
Selection criteria: Ingard® and Roundup Ready® traits,<br />
plant habit, resistance to bacterial blight, resistance to<br />
verticillium wilt, leaf hair, lint % and fibre quality.<br />
Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Mr PE Reid, CSIRO,<br />
Narrabri, NSW.<br />
Choice of Comparators ‘Sicala V-2i’ A was chosen<br />
because it is a similar variety with normal leaf shape and<br />
very similar plant habit and the Ingard® gene. ‘Sicala V-<br />
2RR’ A was chosen because it is a variety with normal leaf<br />
shape and very similar plant habit and the Roundup<br />
Ready® gene. ‘Sicala V-2’ A was chosen because it was the<br />
backcross variety used to develop the breeding lines<br />
containing the Ingard® and Roundup Ready® traits. The<br />
parents were not considered for the reasons stated above.<br />
Comparative Trials Morphology trial location: <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
Cotton Research Institute, Narrabri, NSW, 1999-2000<br />
summer. Conditions: field grown irrigated trial with<br />
conventional management. Trial design: 30-entry trial in a<br />
row and column design with four replicates and two rows x<br />
<strong>14</strong>m plots. Measurements: morphological measurements on<br />
10 plants from each plot. Fibre quality trial locations: 9 trial<br />
locations from Warren, NSW to Emerald, QLD, 1999-2000<br />
summer. Conditions: field grown irrigated trials with<br />
conventional management. Trial design: 50-trial in a row<br />
and column design with four replicates and three or four<br />
row x <strong>14</strong>m plots. Measurements: lint % and fibre quality<br />
measurements taken on a 400g subsample from the whole<br />
centre row harvest. Fibre quality was measured on a<br />
Zellweger Uster HVI 900 instrument.<br />
