That sounds like a garbled reference to Sally Fox,

She began by to breeding brown cotton to have a longer
staple, and in the process discovered that there were red
and green genes in cotton. No word about blue.
Unfortunately, all American States that include areas
suitable for cotton production also have laws forbidding the
existence of colored cotton. The web site doesn't specify
where she is currently hanging out.
