The instant invention is directed to a constitutive promoter for use in plants. The plant genus from which the promoter is derived is. The invention encompasses the isolated promoter, expression cassettes comprising said promoter and a heterologous nucleic acid segment, and monocot and dicot plants and plant cells transformed with said expression cassettes.

[object Object]

The present invention provides promoters from plants capable of driving gene expression in plant cells. The promoters vary in strength and in tissue specificity, and can be used to facilitate the development of transgenic plants in which tissue preferred expression, constitutive expression, and the strength of transgene expression is either more or less critical.

Rice promoters for regulation of plant expression

The invention relates to methods of producing plants with increased resistance to pathogen infection by expressing disease resistance genes in the plants and transgenic plants having enhanced pathogen resistance.

Plant disease resistance genes

The invention provides a method to identify a plurality of plant promoters having specified characteristics and promoters identified by the method. The plant genus from which at least some of the promoters are derived is. Also provided are transgenic plants comprising the genes identified by the methods of the invention.
