The USDA-ARS release (p. 1) names Dr. Kim D. Bowman as maker of the 1995 Ninkat mandarin × Gotha Road #6 trifoliate cross for US-1284. It does not specify seed or pollen parent roles, so it does not support the seed-parent designation.
In 1995, Kim D. Bowman made a cross of Ninkat mandarin and Gotha Road #6 trifoliate orange at A.H. Whitmore Foundation Farm. The USDA release identifies this cross for US-1284 but does not state seed or pollen parent roles.

Planned and conducted selection, evaluation, and field testing of US-1281 Citrandarin before its release.
The USDA Agricultural Research Service released US-1281 to nurserymen and growers in September 2014; the release document identifies it as selection BS95-V5-10. Kim D. Bowman planned and conducted selection, evaluation, and field testing, and Greg McCollum collaborated on fruit-quality evaluation from field trials. Reported performance concerns Hamlin scions in Florida flatwoods and ridge trials; the release cautions that flatwoods superiority was not clear at the ridge site.

Planned and conducted selection, evaluation, and field testing of US-1282 Citrandarin before its release.
USDA-ARS released US-1282 to nurserymen and growers. The agency document credits Kim D. Bowman with planning and conducting field testing and Greg McCollum with fruit-quality evaluation. In a St. Lucie flatwoods Hamlin-scion trial, seven trees per rootstock yielded 63 kg/tree on US-1282 and 19 kg/tree on Swingle in 2013; the release describes relative tolerance under HLB pressure, not resistance. Bowman & McCollum (2015) dates the USDA release to September 2014.

Planned and conducted selection, evaluation, and field testing of US-1283 Citrandarin before its release.
USDA-ARS released US-1283 in September 2014 for commercial use in areas threatened by HLB. Kim D. Bowman planned and conducted selection, evaluation, and field testing with industry partners; Greg McCollum collaborated in evaluating fruit quality from field trials. The release reports Hamlin sweet-orange scion trials at Florida flatwoods and ridge sites, with results qualified by site. These are grafted scion results, not fruit measurements of US-1283 itself.

Planned and conducted selection, evaluation, and field testing of US-1284 Citrandarin before its release.
The USDA Agricultural Research Service released US-1284 Citrandarin to nurserymen and growers for commercial use in Florida to address the need for rootstocks with improved HLB tolerance. The official release identifies Kim D. Bowman as field-testing lead and Greg McCollum as collaborator in fruit-quality evaluation. In the St. Lucie flatwoods trial, Hamlin on US-1284 yielded 63 kg/tree in 2013 after Las infection and improved nutrition; the Water Conserv II ridge trial showed no consistent yield advantage over Swingle across reported years, with a significant difference only in 2009. These are site-specific grafted-scion results, not fruit traits of US-1284.

Planned and conducted USDA field testing of US-942.
US-942 was field-tested at several locations and with several scions. The USDA release notice says field testing was planned and conducted by Don Hutchison, Heinz Wutscher, Greg McCollum and Kim Bowman, and identifies the field selection as HRS-942 or US-942.
