DNA sequences are able to function as promoters of tissue-preferential transcription of associated DNA sequences in plants, particularly in the roots. These DNA sequences can be used in transformation vectors to produce transgenic plants which will express the heterologous genes preferentially in tissue, particularly in the roots of maize plants.
