Abstract
The present invention is directed to promoters that have particular utility in driving root-specific expression of heterologous genes that impart increased agronomic, horticultural and/or pesticidal characteristics to a given transgenic plant. The present invention is also drawn to DNA molecules comprising the promoters of the invention and transformed plant tissues containing DNA molecules comprising a promoter of the invention operably linked to a heterologous gene or genes, and seeds thereof.
Claims25
An expression cassette comprising a promoter comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:6 or SEQ ID NO:10 operably linked to a heterologous polynucleotide of interest, which is operably linked to a 3′-untranslated region including a polyadenylation signal.
