Root-Preferred Promoter and Methods of Use

摘要

The present invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. Compositions include a novel nucleotide sequence for a promoter for the gene encoding Sorghum bicolor pLTP. A method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using the promoter sequences disclosed herein is provided. The method comprises transforming a plant or plant cell with a nucleotide sequence operably linked to one of the promoters of the present invention.

主权项

1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence characterized by at least one of:
a) a nucleotide sequence comprising the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 or a complement thereof; and c) a nucleotide sequence comprising at least 20 contiguous nucleotides of the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said sequence initiates transcription in a plant cell.
