Title of Invention

METHOD FOR INCREASING OR DECREASING CELLULOSE BIOSYNTHESIS IN FIBER PRODUCING PLANT.

Abstract The preset invention provides chimcric genes for use in modulating (i.e., enhancing or reducing) cellonlose biosyo- thesis and/for fiber quality in a fiber. producing plant such as cotton plant, and methods of modelleding caliulose biosyothesis employing the chimeric genes. The invention further provides plant cells and plants comprising the chimeric genes of the invention as well as septs of such plants comprising the chimeric genes of the invention. The present invention also provides methods for identifying allelic variations of the genes encoding proteins involved in cellulose biosynthesis in a populetion comprising different genotypes or varieties of a particular plant species.
