The invention relates to expression cassettes and vectors which contain constitutive promoters of plants and to the use of these expression cassettes or vectors for transgenic expression of nucleic acid sequences, preferably selection markers, in organisms, preferably in plants. The invention further relates to transgenic plants which have been transformed with the expression cassettes or vectors, to cultures, parts or propagation material derived from these plants, and to the use of these plants for the production of food and animal feedstuffs, seed, pharmaceuticals, or fine chemicals.

Expression cassettes for transgenic expression of nucleic acids

The invention relates to expression cassettes and vectors, which contain vegetable constitutive promoters and to the use of these expression cassettes or vectors for the transgenic expression of nucleic acid sequences preferably selection markers in organisms, preferably in plants. The invention also relates to transgenic plants that have been transformed using these expression cassettes or vectors, to cultures, parts or propagation products derived from these plants, and to the use of these plants for producing food and animal feed agents, seeds, pharmaceuticals, or fine chemicals.

The invention relates to methods for the directed, transgenic expression of nucleic acid sequences in the carbohydrate-storing sink tissues of plants using transgenic expression cassettes which comprise theplastidic 1,4-&#x3b1;-D-glucan:phosphate &#x3b1;-D-glucosyltransferase promoter. Furthermore, the invention relates to said transgenic expression cassettes and to transgenic expression vectors and transgenic organisms comprising them, and to the use of the same for the production of foodstuffs, feedstuffs, seed, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals.

Transgenic expression cassettes for expressing nucleic acid sequences in sink tissues of plants that store carbohydrate

The invention relates to methods for the transgenic expression of nucleic acid sequences predominantly in starch-comprising tissues of plants, preferably in fruits, roots, seeds or tubers, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is expressed under the control of a promoter of a starch synthase 3. Furthermore in accordance with the invention are transgenic expression cassettes and vectors comprising a promoter of a starch synthase 3, and the use thereof for the production of foodstuffs, feedstuffs, seed, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals.

Expression cassette for nucleic acids in plant tissue containing starch

The present invention relates to a binary vector which is distinguished by the combination of a variety of elements, demonstrates particularly high compatibility from the cloning aspect and which, besides the T-DNA flanked by the right and left border, contains an additional sequence which makes possible highly efficient and correct transfer of the T-DNA.
