HYDROXYPYRUVATE REDUCTASE NUCLEIC ACIDS, POLYPEPTIDES, PROMOTER ELEMENTS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF IN PLANTS

摘要

The invention provides compositions and methods for regulating the expression of nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant. Compositions include a novel nucleotide sequence comprising a promoter for the hydroxypyruvate reductase gene. Methods for expressing a nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant using the promoter sequences disclosed herein is provided. The method comprises stably incorporating into the genome of a plant cell a nucleotide sequence operably linked to the promoter of the present invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant that expresses the nucleotide sequence..
