Abstract
Provided herein are compositions and methods for expressing a polynucleotide of interest in a plant or plant part. Compositions include promoter molecules that initiate spatio-temporal expression of polynucleotides of interest, and DNA constructs comprising the promoter molecule operably linked to one or more polynucleotides of interest. Plants and plant parts comprising the compositions or produced according to the methods are also provided.

A DNA construct comprising, in operable linkage:
- (a) a first promoter molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence that shares at least 80% sequence identity with any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-27 and retains transcription initiation activity, or a nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-27;
- and
- (b) a first polynucleotide of interest.
A method of expressing a polynucleotide of interest in a plant or plant part comprising introducing a DNA construct into said plant or plant part, wherein the DNA construct comprises, in operable linkage:
- (a) a first promoter molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence that shares at least 80% sequence identity with any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-27 and retains transcription initiation activity, or a nucleic acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-27;
- and
- (b) a first polynucleotide of interest.
