Dna fragment having promoter function

摘要

This invention provides a DNA fragment having a promoter function capable of expressing a structural gene which can be expressed in a plant, and discloses a DNA fragment having a promoter function in a plant which is originated from a gene encoding a rice metallothionein as shown by SEQ ID NO: 1, a vector comprising the DNA having the promoter function, a plant cell transformed by the vector; and a regenerated plant and seeds obtainable from the plant cells.
