Compositions and methods for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant are provided. Compositions include nucleotide sequences for annucellar 1/inner integument (AT NUC1) promoter. Also provided is a method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using a promoter sequence disclosed herein.

Somatic ovule specific promoter and methods of use

Nucleic acid sequences encoding two RAD51 recombinases active in maize plants are provided. cDNA sequences including the ZmRAD51 coding sequences and unique 3'-untranslated regions which are useful as RFLP probes, are also provided. The production of plasmids containing a nucleic acid sequence encoding a ZmRAD51 fusion protein, as well as the use of the plasmids to introduce the ZmRAD51 coding sequence into a host cell, such as maize cell, are also disclosed.

RAD51 polypeptides

Nucleic acid sequences encoding two RAD51 recombinases active in maize plants are provided. cDNA sequences including the ZmRAD51 coding sequences and unique 3&prime;-untranslated regions which are useful as RFLP probes, are also provided. The production of plasmids containing a nucleic acid sequence encoding a ZmRAD51 fusion protein, as well as the use of the plasmids to introduce the ZmRAD51 coding sequence into a host cell, such as maize cell, are also disclosed.

Nucleotide sequences encoding maize RAD51

A foldable mechanic's creeper that it particularly compact and easy to store includes hinge-connected panel members, each having a panel portion and a peripheral flange portion, the panel members being movable between an open position and a closed position in which the flange portions are in edge-contact for forming a closed container. In the open position, the panel members are rollingly supported on casters for carrying a user in a supine position, the user's head being supported on a padded support that is removably mounted in horizontally spaced relation to one of the panel members. With the panel members in the closed psition, the head support and the casters can be safely enclosed within the container that is formed by the panel members. An extensible mount for the head support serves as a carrying handle for the folded creeper.
