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.
Claims17
Transgenic cotton seed comprising one or more DNA expression constructs, said constructs comprising a hybrid promoter DNA sequence comprising the 34S FMV promoter operably linked to an Arabidopsis EF1α promoter;
- 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 hybrid promoter and the 3′ non-translated region.
A transgenic cotton plant transformed with a nucleic acid molecule comprising a structural DNA sequences encoding a glyphosate tolerance protein operably linked to a hybrid promoter comprising the 34S FMV promoter operably linked to an Arabidposis EF1a promoter which hybrid promoter drives sufficient expression of the protein in the plant cells to provide vegetative reproductive glyphosate tolerance to the plant, said plant characterized as being capable of having a boll map value greater than or equal to 3 following exposure to glyphosate after the 4 leaf stage.
