Estimating the term…
Regulatory regions from maize .alpha.-tubulin genes are disclosed. In particular, 5' regulatory regions comprising an upstream regulatory ensemble (URE) from maize .alpha.-tubulin 1 and 3 genes is useful in tissue specific expression of heterologous genes in transformed plants. The maize .alpha.-tubulin URE comprises regulatory elements which when operably linked to a promoter and heterologous gene, confer regulated expression in roots, pollen and meristematic tissues. Expression constructs which confer tissue specific expression are also provided.
An expression construct for conferring root specific expression in plants which comprises a regulatory sequence of maize .alpha.-tubulin consisting of nucleotides 1 to 1115 of SEQ ID NO:1.
An expression construct for conferring root specific expression in plants which comprises a regulatory sequence of maize .alpha.-tubulin consisting of nucleotides 963 to 1115 of SEQ ID NO:1.
An expression construct for conferring root specific expression in plants which comprises a regulatory sequence of maize .alpha.-tubulin consisting of nucleotides 1 to 1529 of SEQ ID NO:1.
An expression construct for conferring pollen specific expression in plants which comprises a regulatory sequence of maize .alpha.-tubulin consisting of nucleotides 1 to 1348 of SEQ ID NO:1.
An expression construct for conferring pollen specific expression in plants which comprises a regulatory sequence of maize .alpha.-tubulin consisting of nucleotides 295 to 1348 of SEQ ID NO:1.
An expression construct for conferring meristem specific expression in plants which comprises a regulatory sequence of maize .alpha.-tubulin consisting of nucleotides 1 to 695 of SEQ ID NO:3.
An expression construct for conferring meristem specific expression in plants which comprises a regulatory sequence of maize .alpha.-tubulin consisting of nucleotides 542 to 695 of SEQ ID NO:3.
An expression construct for conferring immature embryo specific expression which comprises a regulatory sequence of maize .alpha.-tubulin consisting of nucleotides 1 to 1076 of SEQ ID NO:3.
