Abstract
Brassica plants and seeds comprising nucleic acid sequences and methods for their use are provided which afford seed-specific transcription in order to modulate or modify expression in seed particularly in embryo cells. Transcriptional initiation regions are identified and isolated from plant cells such as seed embryo and seed coat and used to prepare expression cassettes which may then be transformed into plants cells for seed specific transcription. The method finds particular use in conjunction with modifying fatty acid production in seed tissue.
