## Abstract

The present invention provides DNA molecules that constitute fragments of the genome of a plant, and polypeptides encoded thereby. The DNA molecules are useful for specifying a gene product in cells, either as a promoter or as a protein coding sequence or as an UTR or as a 3′ termination sequence, and are also useful in controlling the behavior of a gene in the chromosome, in controlling the expression of a gene or as tools for genetic mapping, recognizing or isolating identical or related DNA fragments, or identification of a particular individual organism, or for clustering of a group of organisms with a common trait.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An isolated polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence that encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence with at least 95 percent identity to the full length sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3.
