COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS CONTAINING A SPECIFIC LEAF PROMOTER TO MODIFY THE EXPRESSION OF GENES OF INTEREST IN PLANTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a polynucleotide sequence capable of efficiently modifying the expression of one or more genes of interest in plant leaves, in particular in plants of the Glycine genus, and to tools for obtaining genetically modified plants using this sequence, and to the use thereof. The invention has many possibilities of use, in particular the creation of new cultivars that are resistant to diseases and pests that attack plant leaves, the expression of transgenes that increase the efficiency of plant photosynthesis, and as a means for guiding the expression of proteins of interest, such as antibodies and pharmaceuticals that can be easily isolated from plant leaves.
