Abstract

The present invention relates to the isolation of two DNA promoters from a coffee plant. The isolated promoters, one inducible and one constitutive, are capable of inducing the expression of a second DNA operably linked to the promoter. The present invention also relates to host cells, expression systems and transgenic plants containing the promoters of the invention.

Claims28

Dependent claims
