A method of increasing expression of a product encoded by a nucleic acid molecule is provided where in one embodiment multiple plant transcription units comprising a promoter and the nucleic acid molecule are provided. In another embodiment multiple plant transcription units are provided where each promoter is different from the other. In an embodiment the multiple plant transcription units may comprise two, three, four or more plant transcription units. In another embodiment the promoter may be selected from an embryo promoter. Another embodiment provides the promoter may be a globulin promoter. A further embodiment provides the product encoded may be selected from hepatitis b, aprotinin, or a cellulase. Still further embodiments provide the product may be selected from the cellulases E1 and CBH1.
A method of increasing expression of a nucleic acid molecule, the method comprising introducing into a plant or plant part a construct comprising three plant transcription units (PTU), each of said PTUs comprising components for enhancing expression of an operably linked nucleic acid molecule and where each PTU comprises the same maize globulin 1 seed promoter selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
