Abstract
The disclosure relates to polynucleotides comprising an endocarp-specific promoter sequence from the peach peroxidase (POX) gene operably linked to a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding a product of interest. The polynucleotides can be used to specifically alter endosperm gene expression in fruit. In a transgenic cell, the polynucleotides may block formation of phenylpropanoid pathway lignin-pathway precursors, formation of lignin monomers, and/or polymerization of lignin monomers.
