The present invention is concerned with the provision of means and methods for gene expression. Specifically, it relates to a polynucleotide comprising an expression control sequence which allows for seed specific of a nucleic acid of interest being operatively linked thereto in plants. Furthermore, vectors, host cells, transgenic plants and methods for expressing nucleic acids of interest are provided which are based on the said polynucleotide.

Whole seed specific promoter

The present invention provides an isolated promoter or an active fragment or derivative thereof capable of conferring selective expression on a gene to which it is operably connected in the endosperm of a developing plant seed and preferably in the basal endosperm transfer layer (BETL) of endosperm. The present invention also provides expression vectors and constructs and transgenic plant cells, plant parts and whole plants comprising the promoter, active fragments and derivatives, and well as methods of modulating one or more plant phenotypes employing the promoter, active fragments and derivatives.

Plant promoter operable in basal endosperm transfer layer of endosperm and uses thereof

The present invention relates to an expression cassette for regulating seed-specific expression of a polynucleotide of interest, said expression cassette comprising a transcription regulating nucleotide sequence, to a vector comprising said expression cassette, host cells and transgenic plants comprising the expression cassette, and methods of producing said transgenic plants.

Expression cassettes for endosperm-specific expression in plants

The present invention relates 'disarmed' strain variants of Agrobacterium strain K599 (NCPPB 2659), 'disarmed' plasmid variants of the Ri-plasmid pRi2659, and derivatives thereof, and methods employing these strains and plasmids in plant transformation.

Disarmedstrains, ri-plasmids, and methods of transformation based thereon

The present invention relates 'disarmed' strain variants ofstrain K599 (NCPPB 2659), 'disarmed' plasmid variants of the Ri-plasmid pRi2659, and derivatives thereof, and methods employing these strains and plasmids in plant transformation.
