Abstract:
An isolated DNA promoter capable of inducing expression of a protein encoded by a DNA molecule operably associated with the promoter, wherein the DNA promoter causes the protein to be expressed in one or more of minor vein phloem of a plant leaf, companion cells of minor vein phloem of a plant leaf, sepals of a plant, or root tips of a plant, and wherein the DNA promoter is a nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ. ID. No. 1, a nucleotide sequence comprising bases âˆ’1764 to +12 of SEQ. ID. No. 1, a nucleotide sequence comprising bases âˆ’1338 to +12 of SEQ. ID. No. 1, a nucleotide sequence comprising bases âˆ’1149 to âˆ’1078 of SEQ. ID. No. 1, and a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ. ID. No. 2.
