Laticiferous tissue-specific srpp promoter from hevea brasiliensis and uses thereof

Abstract

A laticiferous tissue-specific SRPP (small rubber particle-associated protein) promoter derived from Hevea brasiliensis, consists of nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. A recombinant plant expression vector includes the promoter. A plant is transformed with the recombinant plant expression vector and seed of the transformed plant is obtained. A method for laticiferous tissue-specific expression of a foreign gene in a transformed plant includes performing recombination of a foreign gene into the recombinant plant expression vector. The transformed plant produced by the method shows laticiferous tissue-specific expression of a foreign gene.
