FIELD: biochemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biochemistry, in particular to a recombinant polynucleotide molecule intended to reduce the PHYA1 phytochrome gene level. Also disclosed is a hairpin nucleic acid construct, a recombinant binary vector, host cell comprising said construct, transgenic cotton, transgenic cotton cell, transgenic seed of the transgenic plant, plant part. Disclosed is a method for reducing the level of phytochrome A1, method for suppressing the expression of the PHYA1 gene, method for producing said transgenic cotton, method of altering plant characteristics by altering the number of copies of said construct, method of using said transgenic plant to produce a transformed plant.
EFFECT: invention allows producing high yields of quality cotton fibers with improved fiber length and fiber strength.
