Abstract
The present invention is concerned with the provision of means and methods for gene expression. Specifically, it relates to a polynucleotide comprising an expression control sequence which allows for seed specific of a nucleic acid of interest being operatively linked thereto in plants. Furthermore, vectors, host cells, transgenic plants and methods for expressing nucleic acids of interest are provided which are based on the said polynucleotide.
Claims18
A polynucleotide comprising:
- (i) an expression control sequence which allows for seed specific expression in a plant of a nucleic acid sequence of interest being operatively linked thereto, said expression control sequence being selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) an expression control sequence comprising the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 123 or 124,
- (b) an expression control sequence comprising a nucleic acid sequence that has at least 97% nucleic acid sequence identity to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 124, and
- (c) an expression control sequence comprising a nucleic acid sequence that has at least 97% nucleic acid sequence identity to the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 123;
- and
- (ii) at least one nucleic acid sequence of interest operatively linked to and heterologous to the expression control sequence, and wherein the expression control sequence allows for specific expression of the at least one nucleic acid sequence of interest in the whole seed of a monocotyledonous plant.
