Abstract
The invention provides plant cyclophilin promoters that direct efficient expression of contiguous structural coding sequences in essentially all plant cells and plant organs of transgenic plants. In addition, chimeric genes containing the plant cyclophilin promoters of the invention and vectors comprising the plant cyclophilin promoters and chimeric genes of the invention are taught herein.
Claims22
A DNA molecule comprising an isolated plant cyclophilin promoter comprising at least 500 base pairs of a DNA sequence flanking 5′ of a DNA sequence having more than 70% sequence homology with the plant sequences of FIG. 1, operatively linked to a structural coding sequence;
- wherein the plant cyclophilin promoter and the structural coding sequence are not naturally operatively linked.
