Abstract
An expression control sequence which is intermediate in tissue specificity between constitutive and tissue specific is disclosed. This promoter is effective in expressing genes in the majority of tissues of corn, and can be used for effective expression of desired protein genes in plants.
Claims16
A purified and isolated DNA molecule comprising the transcriptional promoter and/or the leader sequence of the nucleotide sequence of the control sequence shown in positions -812 to -1 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
A composition of DNA molecules consisting of DNA molecules which contain the transcriptional promoter and/or the leader sequence of the nucleotide sequence shown as positions -812 to -1 in SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
A recombinant expression system which comprises the transcriptional promoter and/or the leader sequence of the nucleotide sequence shown as positions -812 to -1 in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 operably linked to the coding sequence for a desired protein heterologous to said nucleotide sequence.
A purified and isolated DNA comprising fragments of the control sequence shown in positions -812 to -1 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 which retain transcription-initiating activity and/or the function of the leader sequence.
