Abstract
The disclosure relates to a promoter induced by fungal rust. More specifically, the promoter is induced by the pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi, i.e. the Asian Soybean Rust. The disclosure further provides for recombinant genes comprising the promoter and methods of producing a transgenic plant that involves introducing or providing the recombinant gene to plant cells to create transgenic plant cells, and regenerating transgenic plants from the transgenic cells.
Claims12
A recombinant expression cassette comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a functional fragment thereof, operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid encoding an expression product of interest, and optionally a transcription termination and polyadenylation sequence functional in plants.
A method of conferring, in a soybean cell, expression of an expression product of interest in response to exposure of the soybean cell to a fungal rust, comprising providing, in the soybean cell, a nucleic acid, wherein the nucleic acid comprises
- a promoter comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or a functional fragment thereof, operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding the expression product of interest,
- wherein the nucleic acid sequence encoding the expression product of interest is heterologous to the promoter.
