Abstract:
1. An isolated promoter comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of: a. SEQ ID NO: 1; b. the polynucleotide sequence complementary to the full length of SEQ ID NO: 1; c. a sequence having root-specific promoter activity that hybridizes under stringent hybridizing conditions to SEQ ID NO: 1; and d. a sequence that hybridizes under stringent hybridizing conditions to a sequence complementary to the full length of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said sequence that hybridizes has root-specific promoter activity; wherein the stringent hybridizing conditions are either: (1) hybridizing in 4×SSC at 65° C and subsequent multiple washing in 0.1×SSC at 65° C. for a total of 1 hour; or (2) hybridizing at 68° C. in 0.25 M sodium phosphate, pH 7.2, 7% SDS, 1 mM EDTA and 1% BSA for 16 hours and subsequent washing twice with 2×SSC and 0.1% SDS at 68° C.
