Abstract
Nucleic acid constructs are provided comprising transcriptional regulatory regions homologous to plant FAE1 promoters. In some embodiments, these constructs may be used in transgenic cells or plants to promote expression of foreign and endogenous genes in developing seeds, for example to affect seed lipid metabolism, protein or carbohydrate composition and accumulation, or seed development.
Claims10
A recombinant nucleic acid molecule comprising a heterologous promoter sequence operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence, wherein the promoter sequence comprises a transcriptional regulatory region capable of directing speed-specific expression in Arabidopsis wherein the transcriptional regulatory region comprises SEQ ID NO:
- 15 or the complement thereof.
