Abstract
Novel DNA constructs are provided which are functional in soybean plants and provide for expression in soybean plant cells. Particularly, the constructs include a promoter region, as exemplary, the soybean small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase, an endogenous or exogenous gene other than the normal structural gene associated with the promoter, and a sequence for integration into the plant genome, such as Ri- or Ti-plasmid.
Claims8
A non-gall soybean cell having integrated in its genome a DNA construct, said construct comprising a promoter region functional in said soybean cell upstream from a structural gene foreign to said promoter region and a termination region functional in said soybean cell downstream from said structural gene, wherein said DNA construct is flanked by non-disarmed T-DNA comprising tumor inducing genes.
