SEED PREFERRED PROMOTER FROM MAIZE.

摘要

The present invention provides a composition and method for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. The composition is a novel nucleic acid sequence for a seed preferred promoter. A method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using the promoter sequence is also provided. The method comprises transforming a plant cell to contain a heterologous nucleotide sequence operably linked to the seed preferred promoter of the present invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant from the transformed plant cell.
