Abstract
Novel methods are provided whereby encoding sequences preferentially directing gene expression in ovary tissue, particularly in very early fruit development, are utilized to express genes encoding isopentenyl transferase in cotton ovule tissue. The methods permit the modification of the characteristics of boll set in cotton plants and provide a mechanism for altering fiber quality characteristics including fiber dimension and strength.
