MONOCOT SEED GENE EXPRESSION SYSTEM

摘要

A gene construct comprising the rice glutelin-1 promoter operably connected to a foreign non-plant gene is disclosed. A monocot seed containing a gene construct comprising a rice glutelin-1 promoter operably connected to a foreign non-plant gene is also disclosed. Preferably, the gene product is expressed at a level of at least 1 % of total soluble endosperm protein. Most preferably, the gene product is expressed at a level of at least 2.5 % of the total soluble endosperm protein.
