Enod2 gene regulatory region

摘要

The subject invention concerns a regulatory region of a legume early nodulin gene (Enod2) comprising promoter and promoter-associated nucleotide sequences. The Enod2 gene is expressed in nodule tissue of legumes in the early stages of nodulation. The Enod2 regulatory region can be used to express foreign genes under its control in developing nodules. Nucleotide sequences of soybean Enod2 genes with their regulatory regions is provided.
