Abstract
The present invention relates to novel plant expression constructs. More specifically the present invention provides DNA constructs comprising 5′ regulatory sequences for modulating the expression of operably linked genes in plants.
Claims14
A DNA construct comprising a chimeric promoter DNA sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:28;
- a structural DNA sequence encoding a glyphosate tolerance protein;
- and a 3′ non-translated region that functions in plants to cause the addition of polyadenylated nucleotides to the 3′ end of the RNA sequence;
- wherein the structural DNA sequence is operably linked to the chimeric promoter and the 3′ non-translated region, and the chimeric promoter DNA sequence is heterologous with respect to the structural DNA sequence.
