Aregulatory region is shown, which provides improved seed preferred, and particularly embryo preferred expression in plants. Methods of use are also shown in preferentially expressing a heterologous protein to the embryo tissue of a plant. The sequence is particularly useful in expression of heterologous proteins to the embryo of monocotyledonous plants, particularly cereals, and maize.

Regulatory region preferentially expressing to seed embryo and method of using same

The invention relates to production of proinsulin or insulin in seeds of monocot plants by transformation of monocot plants with a nucleotide sequence encoding proinsulin or insulin under the control of a seed specific promoter.

Commercial production of insulin and insulin-like protein in plants

A regulatory region is shown, a nucleotide sequence of approximately 3kb which provides improved seed preferred, and particularly embryo preferred expression in plants. Methods of use are also shown in preferentially expressing a heterologous protein to the embryo tissue of a plant. The sequence is particularly useful in expression of heterologous proteins to the embryo of monocotyledonous plants, particularly cereals, and maize.

Embryo preferred promoter and method of using same

A globulin-1 regulatory region is shown, a nucleotide sequence of approximately 3 kb which provides improved seed preferred, and particularly embryo preferred expression in plants. Methods of use are also shown in preferentially expressing a heterologous protein to the embryo tissue of a plant. The sequence is particularly useful in expression of heterologous proteins to the embryo of monocotyledonous plants, particularly cereals, and maize.

Globulin-1 promoter from maize and method of using same

A globulin-2 regulatory region is shown, which provides improved seed preferred, and particularly embryo preferred expression in plants. Methods of use are also shown in preferentially expressing a heterologous protein to the embryo tissue of a plant. The sequence is particularly useful in expression of heterologous proteins to the embryo of monocotyledonous plants, particularly cereals, and maize.
