Abstract
Promoters from male reproductive tissues are isolated from corn. These promoters can be used in plants to regulate transcription of target genes including genes for control of fertility, insect or pathogen tolerance, herbicide tolerance or any gene of interest.
Claims12
An isolated nucleic acid comprising a sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 81 said isolated nucleic acid being capable of regulating transcription of an operably linked DNA sequence.
A cell comprising a recombinant DNA construct comprising an isolated nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 81, and operably linked to said nucleic acid sequence, a transcribable DNA sequence and
- a 3′ non-translated region.
A transgenic plant comprising a DNA construct comprising an isolated nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 81 and operably linked to said nucleic acid sequence, a transcribable DNA sequence and
- a 3′ non-translated region.
A method of making a transgenic plant comprising introducing into a cell of a plant a recombinant DNA construct comprising:
- (i) A promoter comprising a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NOS:
- 81 and, operably linked to the promoter;
- (ii) A transcribable DNA sequence;
- and
- (iii) A 3′ non-translated region.
