Abstract
The subject invention concerns a regulatory region of a legume early nodulin gene (Enod2) comprising promoter and promoter-associated nucleotide sequences. The Enod2 gene is expressed in nodule tissue of legumes in the early stages of nodulation. The Enod2 regulatory region can be used to express foreign genes under its control in developing nodules. Nucleotide sequences of soybean Enod2 genes with their regulatory regions is provided.
Claims8
An isolated DNA molecule comprising an Enod2 gene 5' regulatory region, said regulatory region which hybridizes to the DNA sequence of Tables 1 or 2, and a plant-expressible structural gene other than an Enod2 structural gene positioned such that it is expressed under the regulatory control of said 5' regulatory region.
