Abstract
This invention relates to compositions and methods useful in the production of transgenic plants. In particular, the invention relates to malate synthase and isocitrate lyase plant promoter sequences which are useful for directing expression of heterologous DNAs in seeds and seedlings. The invention also relates to expression cassettes containing the promoter sequences and to transgenic plants containing the expression cassettes.
Claims19
An expression cassette comprising an isocitrate lyase promoter operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, wherein the promoter selectively hybridizes to a Brassica isocitrate lyase promoter.
