Method for increasing transgene expression

摘要

The present invention provides a method for increasing expression of a transgene using the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of a GOS2 gene, or part of such 5'UTR, comprising the first intron. The 5'UTR is integrated in or at the 5' end of a nucleic acid of interest and is combined with a plant expressible promoter. The nucleic acid provided may be used in methods for modifying growth characteristics of transgenic plants relative to corresponding wild type plants.
