Description:
MT2468 Ren2 was developed from a cross between Deltapine 61 (PI 607174) and the photoperiodic primitive accession T-2468 (PI 607773). Day-neutral plants were selected in the F2. F3 progeny were screened for reniform nematode resistance and a single plant with low nematode reproduction was selected. F4 progeny from the selected F3 plant was re-evaluated for resistance and a single plant was selected. Seeds (F5) from the selected plant were advanced via bulk-self to the F6 and re-selected for nematode resistance. A single plant was selected and advanced to the F10 via bulk-self increase. The F10 bulk population was designated MT2468 Ren2.
