The present invention is directed to a melon actin promoter capable of providing expression of heterologous genes, and nucleic acid constructs, vectors, transformation methods, transgenic plant cells, and transgenic plants comprising said promoter.

Melon promoters for expression of transgenes in plants

The present invention relates to isolated Raspberry Bushy Dwarf Virus (RBDV) nucleic acid sequences which encode RBDV coat and movement proteins or polypeptides and mutant or modified forms thereof. The invention further relates to heterologous nucleic acid constructs, vectors, transformation methods, plant cells and plants comprising such RBDV-encoding nucleic acids and methods for inducing resistance to RBDV by transforming plants with a nucleic acid construct comprising RBDV protein or polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid sequences.

Development of resistance to raspberry bushy dwarf virus

The present invention is directed to a synthetic hybrid promoter composed of polynucleotide segments derived from the E8 and E4 gene promoters. The hybrid promoter is capable of providing high-level expression of heterologous genes, particularly in transformed fruit. DNA constructs containing the E8-E4 hybrid promoter operably linked to an exemplary heterologous SAMase gene are effective in conferring a delayed ripening phenotype to transformed fruit.

Synthetic hybrid tomato E4/E8 plant promoter

The present invention is directed to the identification and isolation of a promoter region from a raspberry genome. The promoter is operably linked, in a native raspberry genome, to the coding region of a raspberry E4 gene. The raspberry E4 gene promoter of the invention is capable of regulating moderate level, constitutive expression of a heterologous plant gene under its control. The invention is further directed to chimeric genes, cassette vectors, kits, transgenic plants, and methods employing a raspberry E4 promoter.

Raspberry promoter and methods for expression of transgenes in plants

The present invention relates to chimeric genes having (i) a DNA sequence encoding a product of interest, and (ii) a dru1 promoter, where said DNA sequence is heterologous to said promoter and said DNA sequence is operably linked to said promoter to enable expression of said product. The invention describes vectors, cells, plants, and fruits carrying the chimeric gene, as well as methods related thereto.

Plant tissue/stage specific promoters for regulated expression of

The present invention is directed to the identification and isolation of two different promoter regions from the raspberry genome. The promoter regions are operably linked, in a native raspberry genome, to the coding region of a raspberry dru1 gene. Promoters of the invention are capable of regulating moderate level, constitutive expression of heterologous plant genes under their control. The invention is further directed to chimeric genes, cassette vectors, kits, transgenic plants, and methods employing such promoters.
