Abstract
The present invention provides non-coding regulatory element molecules isolated from the adenylate translocator protein gene and useful for expressing transgenes in plants. The present invention also provides expression constructs containing the polynucleotide molecules useful for expressing transgenes in plants. The present invention also provides transgenic plants and seeds containing the polynucleotide molecules useful for expressing transgenes in plants.
Claims20
An isolated polynucleotide molecule having gene regulatory activity comprising an adenylate translocase gene non-coding regulatory element polynucleotide molecule, or a complement thereof, or a fragment thereof, wherein said molecule is selected from the group consisting of:
- promoter, leader, intron.
A method of inhibiting weed growth in a field of transgenic glyphosate tolerant crop plants comprising:
- (i) planting the transgenic plants transformed with an expression cassette comprising (a) an adenylate translocator gene non-coding regulatory element polynucleotide molecule active in a plant cell and operably linked to a polynucleotide molecule encoding a glyphosate tolerance gene and (ii) applying glyphosate to the field at an application rate that inhibits the growth of weeds, wherein the growth and yield of the transgenic crop plant is not substantially affected by the glyphosate application.
