MAIZE PROMOTER SEQUENCE FOR LEAF- AND STALK-PREFERRED GENE EXPRESSION
摘要
This invention relates generally to mechanisms of gene expression in plants and more specifically to regulation of expression of genes in plants in a "tissue-preferred" manner. Regulation of expression is achieved using a transcriptional regulatory unit capable of driving expression of genes within certain tissues of a plant. Said transcriptional regulatory unit are to be utilized for driving expression of genes effective in the control of insect or other pests which threaten plants.
