Abstract
This invention relates to compositions and methods useful in the production of transgenic plants. In particular, the invention relates to P119 plant promoter sequences and to expression cassettes containing P119 plant promoter sequences. The invention also relates to vectors and transgenic plants containing P119 plant promoter sequences that are operably linked to heterologous DNA sequences. In addition, the invention relates to methods of producing transgenic plants by using vectors containing P119 promoter sequences.
Claims22
A composition comprising an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a tomato plant P119 promoter.
A vector comprising a tomato plant P119 promoter operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid sequence.
An expression cassette comprising a tomato plant P119 promoter operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid sequence.
A transgenic plant comprising a tomato plant P119 promoter operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid sequence.
A method of expressing a heterologous nucleic acid sequence in a plant cell comprising:
- a) transforming said plant cell with a vector comprising a tomato plant P119 promoter operably linked to the heterologous nucleic acid sequence;
- and
- b) growing said plant cell under conditions where the heterologous nucleic acid sequence is expressed in said plant cell.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a promoter sequence of about 2500 nucleotides, which promoter sequence hybridizes to SEQ. ID. No. 3 under hybridization conditions which include washing at 65.degree. C. in 0.1X SSC, 0.1% SDS.
