Abstract
The present invention provides nucleic acid sequences from ovule-specific genes. The nucleic acids are useful in targeting gene expression to ovules or in modulating ovule development.
Claims22
An isolated nucleic acid construct comprising a polynucleotide sequence from an ovule-specific gene, wherein the polynucleotide sequence hybridizes to O39 (SEQ ID No:
- 1), O108 (SEQ ID No:
- 5), O126 (SEQ ID No:
- 7), O141 (SEQ ID No:
- 9), or A20 (SEQ ID No:
- 11) under stringent conditions.
An isolated nucleic acid construct which encodes a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No:
- 2, SEQ ID No:
- 6, SEQ ID No:
- 8, SEQ ID No:
- 10, or SEQ ID No:
- 12).
A transgenic plant comprising a recombinant expression cassette comprising a plant promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide sequence which hybridizes to O390 (SEQ ID No:
- 1), O108 (SEQ ID No:
- 5), O126 (SEQ ID No:
- 7), O141 (SEQ ID No:
- 9), or A20 (SEQ ID No:
- 11) under stringent conditions.
An isolated nucleic acid construct comprising a polynucleotide sequence which hybridizes to O40 (SEQ ID No:
- 3) under stringent conditions.
An isolated nucleic acid construct comprising a polynucleotide sequence which encodes a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID No:
- 4.
