The invention provides isolated plant gene promoters and regulatory elements that are root specific and/or induced by plant parasitic nematodes. The promoters of the invention are useful for controlling expression of nucleic acids of interest in plant roots and are particularly useful for controlling transcription of nucleic acids encoding agents that disrupt formation or maintenance of parasitic nematode feeding sites in plants.

Peroxidase gene nematode inducible promotors and methods of use

The invention provides isolated promoter polynucleotides that are root-specific and/or induced by plant parasitic nematodes. The promoters of the invention are useful for controlling expression of nucleic acids of interest in plant roots and are particularly useful for controlling transcription of nucleic acids encoding agents that disrupt formation or maintenance of parasitic nematode feeding sites in plants.

Nematode inducible promotors and methods of use

The invention provides plant gene promoters and regulatory elements that are root-specific and/or induced by parasitic nematodes. The promoters of the invention are useful for controlling expression of nucleic acids of interest in plants' roots. The invention also provides expression cassettes including the plant gene promoters and regulatory elements of the invention, transgenic plants containing such expression cassettes, and methods of producing such transgenic plants.

Pathogen inducible plant thehalose-6-phophate phophatase gene promoters and regulatory elements

The invention provides promoter polynucleotides that are root-preferred and/or induced by parasitic nematodes. The promoter polynucleotides of the invention are useful for controlling expression of nucleic acids of interest in plant roots.
