Abstract
This invention is directed to regulatory elements obtained from a wheat aleurone gene LtpW1. The regulatory element, analogs thereof, or truncated derivatives of this regulatory element, can be used to express heterologous genes of interest within the aleurone cells of a plant. This invention is also directed to vectors comprising these regulatory elements operatively linked with a heterologous gene of interest, as well as plant cell cultures and transgenic plants comprising these vectors. A method for the preparation of a plant using the regulatory elements of this invention are also disclosed. Furthermore, this invention is directed to a truncated LtpW1 regulatory element that exhibits constitutive activity within plants.
