Abstract
The invention relates to the nucleotide sequence from the sugarcane ubi9 polyubiquitin gene promoter, which is capable of directing constitutive expression of a nucleic acid sequence of interest that is operably linked to it. The sugarcane ubi9 promoter is useful in regulating expression of a nucleic acid sequence of interest in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.
Claims13
A transgenic plant cell comprising a promoter comprising SEQ ID NO:10, wherein said promoter is operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence of interest, and said plant cell is selected from sugar cane, tobacco, sorghum, pineapple, rice, maize, tomato, soybean, banana, and garlic.
A method for expressing a nucleic acid sequence of interest in a plant cell selected from sugar cane, tobacco, sorghum, pineapple, rice, maize, tomato, soybean, banana, and garlic, comprising:
- a) providing:
- i) said plant cell;
- ii) a nucleic acid sequence of interest;
- and
- iii) a promoter comprising SEQ ID NO:
- 10;
- b) operably linking said nucleic acid sequence of interest to said promoter to produce a transgene;
- and
- c) introducing said transgene into said plant cell to produce a transgenic plant cell under conditions such that said nucleic acid sequence of interest is expressed in said transgenic plant cell.
