Abstract
The current invention provides the Zea mays GRP (ZMGRP) 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 ZMGRP 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.

An isolated nucleic acid comprising a maize GRP promoter comprising at least 95 contiguous bases of SEQ ID NO:1.
A transgenic plant stably transformed with a selected DNA comprising a maize GRP promoter comprising at least 95 contiguous bases of SEQ ID NO:1.
A transgenic plant cell stably transformed with a selected DNA comprising a maize GRP promoter comprising at least 95 contiguous bases of SEQ:
- ID NO:1.
A method of preparing a transgenic plant comprising the steps of:
