Abstract
A method of inducibly enhancing the constitutive expression of a DNA sequence of interest is described in which plant cells are transformed with a DNA sequence of interest that is operably joined to a plant ubiquitin regulatory region comprised of a heat shock element, a promoter, a transcription start site, an intron and a translation start site, When monocot or dicot plant cells are subjected to permissive heat shock temperatures, the level of expression of the DNA sequence of interest is enhanced.
