Abstract
The present invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. Compositions include a novel nucleotide sequence for a vascular tissue-preferred promoter for the gene encoding prunasin hydrolase and sequences isolated therefrom. A method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using the promoter sequences disclosed herein is provided. The method comprises stably incorporating into the genome of a plant cell a nucleotide sequence operably linked to the vascular tissue-preferred promoter of the present invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant that expresses the nucleotide sequence.
