Claim:
1. An expression vector comprising: a tripartite GAG motif having at least 95% nucleotide sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence found at nucleotides 7 to 63 of SEQ ID NO:1; and an operatively-linked gene, where the tripartite GAG motif comprises a G-box like element, an AT-rich element and a GCG-like box element and where the expression of the operatively-linked gene is capable of being induced by an endogenous and/or exogenous signal, wherein the expression vector contains no other sequence from a NtPMT promoter other than the tripartite GAG motif having at least 95% nucleotide sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence found at nucleotides 7 to 63 of SEQ ID NO:1.
