Abstract
This invention provides recombinant expression cassettes comprising a homeobox binding site having a sequence at least substantially identical to ATTATTACATGNG or ATTATTATTACATGNG operably linked to a heterologous plant target polynucleotide sequence. The recombinant expression cassette may be incorporated in a recombinant plasmid or integrated into the genome of a transgenic plant.
Claims23
A recombinant expression cassette comprising a homeobox binding site having a sequence at least substantially identical to ATTATTACATGNG (SEQ ID NO:
- 1) or ATTATTATTACATGNG (SEQ ID NO:
- 2) operably linked to a heterologous plant target polynucleotide sequence.
A method of identifying a homeobox target gene sequence, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a sample nucleotide sequence;
- and
- (b) detecting, in the sample nucleotide sequence, the presence of a homeobox target binding site having a sequence at least substantially identical to ATTATTACATGNG or ATTATTATTACATGNG, thereby identifying a homeobox target gene sequence.
