The present invention relates generally to a novel plant promoter. More particularly, the present invention provides a plant promoter capable of induction by physical and/or environmental stimuli in cells in which the promoter is indigenous and, in the absence of any negative regulatory mechanism, is capable of constitutive expression in cells in which the promoter is non-indigenous. The present invention is further directed to derivatives of the subject promoter including modular forms of the promoter which are, for example, inducible by different physical and environmental stimuli or which are constitutively expressed. The promoter of the present invention has a range of uses including directing expression of genes conferring useful traits on plants.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a promoter which confers or enhances the ability of an operably linked structural gene or other nucleic acid to be expressed, wherein the promoter comprises any one of:
An isolated promoter which confers or enhances the ability of an operably linked sequence to be expressed, the operably linked sequence comprising a structural gene or other nucleic acid;
A modular promoter, comprising at least one portion, wherein the at least one portion comprises anyone of:
