FLAX (LINUM USITATISSIMUM L.) SEED-SPECIFIC SEQUENCES

摘要

The present invention is directed to promoters of flax conlinin and ro-3 desaturase genes. The promoters guide high levels of the expression exclusively in flax developing seeds. This specific expression pattern concomitant with the biosynthesis of storage lipids and proteins make these promoters particularly useful for seed-specific modification of fatty acid and protein compositions in plant seeds.
