A novel promoter isolated from the 5′ flanking region upstream of the coding sequence of the Arabidopsis plastid clpP gene is described. Also described are a novel method for utilizing protein-coding regions of plastid genes to isolate intervening regulatory sequences and a novel method for improving plastid transformation efficiency using exogenous plastid promoters that differ in nucleotide sequence from native plastid promoters.
