<p>Nucleic acid sequence which directs root-specific transcription of contiguous genes in plants is provided. This sequence may be used in transgenic plants to promote expression of endogenous and foreign genes in roots to enhance plant resistance to diseases and pests, stress (salt) tolerance, and improve nutritive value of edible root plants. In addition, this sequence may be useful for the production of recombinant proteins in roots aimed at molecular farming and phytoremediation.</p> |
