Isolated polynucleotides are provided. Each of the isolated
polynucleotides comprise a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide
having an amino acid sequence at least 80% homologous to SEQ ID NO: 26,
106, 107, 109, 110, 112, 114, 115, 118, 119, 122, 123, 124, 126, 95 or
96, wherein the polypeptide is capable of regulating cotton fiber
development. Also provided are methods of using such polynucleotides for
improving fiber quality and/or yield of a fiber producing plant, as well
as methods of using such polynucleotides for producing plants having
increased biomass/vigor/yield.
