Abstract
The invention relates to nucleic acid sequences isolated from sugarcane and to methods of using them. In particular, the inventions relates to nucleotide sequences which are derived from sugarcane polyubiquitin genes and which are capable of directing constitutive expression of a nucleic acid sequence of interest that is operably linked to the sugarcane polyubiquitin nucleotide sequences. The sugarcane polyubiquitin nucleotide sequences are useful in regulating expression of a nucleic acid sequence of interest in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.
Claims4
A substantially purified nucleic acid sequence comprising the nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:7 and the complement thereof.
A transgenic plant cell comprising a nucleic acid sequence comprising the double-stranded nucleotide sequence listed as SEQ ID NO:7, wherein said nucleotide sequence is operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence of interest.
