Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in plants using a destablising sequence selected from a 3'SAUR terminator, a DST element, an ATTTA motif, an ATTTAA motif or a combination of ATTTA and ATTTAA motifs

摘要

Disclosed is a method to post-transcriptionally decrease message stability of an exogenous gene of interest in a seed of a crop plant. The method comprises expressing said exogenous gene in a seed tissue, wherein said gene comprises a destabilising sequence in the 3' untranslated region, whereby message stability of said gene of interest is post-transcriptionally decreased in the seed. The destabilising sequence of the disclosed method comprises a 3'SAUR terminator, a DST element, an ATTTA motif, an ATTTAA motif or a combination of ATTTA and ATTTAA motifs.
