Abstract
The current invention provides the maize RS81 promoter. Compositions comprising this sequence are described, as are plants transformed with such compositions. Further provided are methods for the expression of transgenes in plants comprising the use of these sequences. The methods of the invention include the direct creation of transgenic plants with the RS81 promoter by genetic transformation, as well as by plant breeding methods. The sequences of the invention represent a valuable new tool for the creation of transgenic plants, preferably having one or more added beneficial characteristics.
Claims66
An isolated nucleic acid comprising a maize RS81 promoter.
An isolated maize RS81 promoter isolatable from the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1.
An expression cassette comprising a maize RS81 promoter operably linked to a selected coding region.
A transgenic plant stably transformed with a selected DNA comprising a maize RS81 promoter.
A method of expressing a selected protein in a transgenic plant comprising the steps of:
- (i) obtaining a construct comprising a selected coding region operably linked to a maize RS81 promoter;
- (ii) transforming a recipient plant cell with said construct;
- and
- (iii) regenerating a transgenic plant expressing said selected protein from said recipient plant cell.
A transgenic plant cell stably transformed with a selected DNA comprising a maize RS81 promoter.
