1. A transgenic cotton plant comprising a chimeric DNA construct comprising a plant specific promoter and a DNA encoding a sucrose phosphate synthase, whereby the transgenic cotton plant has an increased level of sucrose phosphate synthase relative to a non-transgenic cotton plant and wherein cotton fibers from the plant have improved quality, said improved quality being selected from the group consisting of increased strength, increased length, increased fiber fineness, increased fiber maturity ratio, decreased immature fiber content, increased fiber uniformity, and increased micronaire, compared to a cotton plant lacking the chimeric DNA construct.
