Estimating the term…
The present disclosure relates generally to nucleic acid constructs comprising a nucleotide sequence comprising one or more pigment producing genes, wherein expression of the nucleotide sequence is under the control of a cotton fibre-specific promoter, and wherein the cotton fibre-specific promoter is capable of driving expression of the nucleotide sequence during two or more fibre development stages, and their use in the production of colour cotton fibre, or for the introduction of one or more pigment producing genes into a cotton plant. The present disclosure further contemplates cotton plants modified to produce cotton fibre, cotton seed, cotton lit, yarn, textiles and associated methods.
A nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleotide sequence comprising one or more pigment producing genes, wherein expression of the nucleotide sequence is under the control of a cotton fibre-specific promoter, and wherein the cotton fibre-specific promoter is capable of driving expression of the nucleotide sequence during two or more fibre development stages.
A nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleotide sequence comprising one or more pigment producing genes, wherein the one or more pigment producing genes are exogenous pigment producing genes that are non-native to cotton, wherein expression of the nucleotide sequence is under the control of a cotton fibre-specific promoter, wherein the cotton fibre-specific promoter is capable of driving expression of the nucleotide sequence during two or more fibre development stages, and wherein the cotton fibre-specific promoter is capable of driving expression of the nucleotide sequence at a level that is sufficient to produce pigment that is present in cotton fibre at ≥40 DPA.
