Abstract
A constitutive plant S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase (SAMS) promoter and subfragments thereof and their use in promoting the expression of one or more heterologous nucleic acid fragments in plants are described.
Claims8
A plant, plant cell or plant tissue comprising a recombinant DNA construct comprising a first isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a polypeptide having acetolactate synthase activity, wherein said polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:23 or SEQ ID NO:25, operably linked to a second isolated nucleic acid fragment, having constitutive promoter activity in a plant, wherein said second isolated nucleic acid fragment comprises a nucleotide sequence consisting essentially of the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6 or SEQ ID NO:14.
The plant of claim wherein said plant is a dicot.
Seed comprising a recombinant DNA construct comprising a first isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a polypeptide with acetolactate synthase activity, wherein said polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:23 or SEQ ID NO:25, operably linked to a second isolated nucleic acid fragment, having constitutive promoter activity in a plant, wherein said second isolated nucleic acid fragment comprises a nucleotide sequence consisting essentially of the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6 or SEQ ID NO:14.
