Description:
NuMex COT 17 GLS was selected from an advanced BC5 backcross progeny between glanded Upland
'Zhongmian 35' or called 'CRI 35' as the recurrent parent and an interspecific hybrid of glandless Bahtim 110 (G. barbadense L.) and glanded Upland 'Zhongmian 12', i.e., 'CRI 12'. Bahtim 110 is the incomplete dominant glandless Gl2e allele donor. CRI 12 was developed from a cross of Uganda 4 and Xintai 6871 (a direct selection from Xuzhou 1818) and is highly resistant to Fusarium wilt (FOV) race 7.
