PROMOTOR, CASSETE DE EXPRESSÃO, PLANTA TRANSGÊNICA, E, MÉTODOS PARA PRODUZIR UMA PLANTA TRANSGÊNICA E PARA CONFERIR OU MELHORAR A RESISTÊNCIA A PATÓGENO EM UMA PLANTA

摘要

The invention provides plant gene promoters and regulatory elements that are root-specific and/or induced by parasitic nematodes. The promoters of the invention are useful for controlling expression of nucleic acids of interest in plants' roots. The invention also provides expression cassettes including the plant gene promoters and regulatory elements of the invention, transgenic plants containing such expression cassettes, and methods of producing such transgenic plants.
