Abstract
A dark- and light-regulated chlorophyll a/b (Cab) binding protein promoter/regulatory system from maize is disclosed. This promoter/regulatory system is capable of accounting for as much as 80% of the total Cab mRNA in the dark and results in enhancement of expression from 3- to 6-fold after conditions of illumination. This Cab promoter/regulatory system may be recombined with structural genes for expression in plant cells.
