The present invention is directed to a promoter derivable from anENDO gene. Nucleic acid constructs, vectors, plant cells and transgenic plants comprising the promoter are also provided.

[object Object]

The present invention is directed to a promoter derived from anATP sulfurase gene. Nucleic acid constructs, vectors, plant cells and transgenic plants comprising the promoter are also provided.

Constitutive promoter from arabidopsis

The present invention is directed to isolated promoter sequences from seed-specific genes, such as KNAT411. When operably linked to either the coding sequence of a heterologous gene or a sequence complementary to a native plant gene, the subject promoters direct expression of the coding sequence or complementary sequence in a plant seed, including the early embryo. The promoter sequences are useful in expression cassettes and expression vectors for the transformation of plants. Also provided are methods of directing seed-specific expression of a gene or sequence complementary to a native plant gene by introducing into a plant cell an isolated nucleic acid comprising a subject promoter operably linked to said gene or complementary sequence. Methods for activating a site-specific recombination system in the early embryo of a seed by transforming a plant with an expression cassette comprising a subject promoter operably linked to a recombinase gene are also provided.
