Early-inflorescence-preferred regulatory elements and uses thereof

摘要

The present invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of isolated nucleotide sequences in a plant. The compositions are novel nucleic acid sequences for regulatory elements providing expression preferentially in the inflorescence meristem and developing floral tissues. Methods for expressing an isolated nucleotide sequence in a plant using the regulatory sequences are also provided, as well as expression constructs, vectors, and transformed cells and plants.
