Abstract:
1. A method of expressing a heterologous nucleic acid molecule in a plant, the method comprising, (A) introducing into said plant a heterologous nucleic acid molecule operably linked to a promoter comprising a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of: (a) a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 1; (b) a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 2; (c) a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 3; (d) a nucleotide sequence comprising SEQ ID NO: 4; and (e) a functional fragment of any of sequences in parts (a)-(d), wherein said nucleotide sequence or said fragment directs expression of an operably linked heterologous nucleic acid molecule such that said nucleic acid molecule is expressed in leaf and is not expressed in pollen; and (B) detecting expression of said heterologous nucleic acid molecule in said plant tissue such that no detectable expression is found in pollen and said nucleic acid molecule expresses in leaf tissue.
