The invention provides recombinant DNA molecules and constructs, as well as their nucleotide sequences, useful for modulating gene expression in plants. The invention also provides transgenic plants, plant cells, plant parts, and seeds comprising the recombinant DNA molecules operably linked to heterologous transcribable DNA molecules, as are methods of their use.

Plant regulatory elements and uses thereof

The disclosure provides novel corn, tomato, and soybean U6, U3, U2, U5, and 7SL snRNA promoters which are useful for CRISPR/Cas-mediated targeted gene modifications in plants. The disclosure also provides methods for use for U6, U3, U2, U5, and 7SL promoters in driving expression of sgRNA polynucleotides which function in a CRISPR/Cas system of targeted gene modification in plants. The disclosure also provides methods of genome modification by insertion of blunt-end DNA fragments at a site of genomic cleavage.

Compositions and methods for site directed genomic modification

This invention provides polynucleotide molecules and methods for regulating genes in plants, e. g., by providing RNA for systemic regulation of genes. Various aspects of the invention provide polynucleotide molecules and methods for regulating endogenous genes and transgenes in a plant cell and polynucleotide molecules.
