Abstract

Novel DNA constructs are provided which may be used as molecular probes or inserted into a plant host to provide for modification of transcription of a DNA sequence of interest in cotton fiber, particularly in very early fiber development. The DNA constructs comprise a cotton fiber transcriptional initiation regulatory region associated with a gene which is expressed in cotton fiber.

Description

[0001] This invention relates to methods of using in vitro constructed DNA transcription or expression cassettes capable of directing fiber-tissue transcription of a DNA sequence of interest in plants to produce fiber cells having an altered phenotype, and to methods of providing for or modifying various characteristics of cotton fiber. The invention is exemplified by methods of using cotton fiber promoters for altering the a phenotype of cotton fiber, and cotton fibers produced by the method.

[0002] In general, genetic engineering techniques have been directed to modifying the phenotype of individual prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, especially in culture. Plant cells have proven more intransigent than other eukaryotic cells, due not only to a lack of suitable vector systems but also as a result of the different goals involved. For many applications, it is desirable to be able to control gene expression at a particular stage in the growth of a plant or in a particular plant part. Fo...
