Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of plant molecular biology. In particular, it describes the use of a regulatory nucleic acid sequence of the rice gene GOS2 for the regulation of gene expression in plant cells derived from plants other than monocotyledonous plants. The use of the regulatory sequence of the present invention results in constitutive expression with expression levels similar to that of CaMV 35S. The present invention also relates to vectors and host cells comprising these nucleic acid sequences. The invention further relates to transgenic cells and plants comprising these sequences and to methods for obtaining such cells and plants.
Claims7
1) Use of an isolated regulatory nucleic acid sequence comprising a regulatory sequence as represented in SEQ ID NO 1 or a functional fragment or a functional variant thereof, for driving expression of an associated nucleic acid sequence in a non-monocotyledonous plant or plant cell.
3) A non-monocotyledonous plant cell comprising or having stably integrated into its genome a recombinant nucleic acid as represented in SEQ ID NO 1 or a functional fragment or a functional variant thereof.
7) Method for expression of a nucleic acid sequence in a non-monocotyledonous plant or plant cell, said method comprising introducing into said plant or plant cell a regulatory sequence represented by SEQ ID NO 1 or a functional fragment or functional variant thereof, wherein said regulatory sequence is capable of driving expression of said nucleic acid sequence which is either an isolated or an endogenous nucleic acid sequence.
