Abstract
Cotton fiber tissue-specific genes disclosed herein are specifically expressed in a cotton fiber tissue at the stage of cotton fiber elongation. One of the genes was first derived from a cotton plant of the genus Gossypium and found to change the degree of its expression by treatment with a brassinosteroid. These novel genes are useful for the production of cotton fibers with improved characteristics.
