Abstract
Methods and means are provided to enhance the selective expression of transgenes under control of a fiber-selective promoter, in fiber cells, particularly cotton fiber cells by including target sites for naturally occurring microRNAs with a specific expression profile, particularly with a differential expression profile between cells leading to fibers and other cells of the fiber producing plant, into the transcribed region of genes of interest.
