Then in 1995, Keerti Rathore, an Indian plant breeder with a PhD from the University of  London arrived at Texas A&M to pick up the mantle of edible cottonseed. 23 years later, he’s nearly there. Rathore’s team used RNA interference (RNAi) to silence a gene in the cotton plant to stop the plant from developing the glands that produce glossypol in the seeds, but not in the rest of the plant. In 2006 he filed and in 2011 was granted U.S. Patent #7,999,148: ‘Cotton plant with seed-specific reduction in gossypol’. The patent application characterizes the innovation in this way:.

Easily damaged by light frosts in the -2°C to 0°C range. The extent of damage will also be dependent on the duration of the frost, the thickness of the crop canopy and the amount of dew on the plants. A light frost of short duration on a heavy dew filled crop canopy may only penetrate 4 to 8 inches into the soybean canopy. This type of damage will kill the terminal flower bud and any young pods on the top two nodes, but pods from these flowers likely wouldn’t have matured anyway. Frosted leaves and stalks rapidly turn dark green to brown and will not recover. Beans in pods that are still green and soft will shrivel up and will go through the combine at harvest. Beans in pods that have turned yellow will mature normally. Some of the large green beans that make it into your sample will turn yellow after 30 to 40 days in storage.
