Patent ID: 7993914

Claim:
A recombinant vector comprising a vascular tissue- and trichome-specific promoter, and a foreign gene or a foreign DNA fragment downstream of the vascular tissue- and trichome-specific promoter wherein the vascular tissue- and trichome-specific promoter comprises DNA selected from (a) DNA consisting of the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 3; (b) DNA consisting of a nucleotide sequence having a substitution, deletion or addition of 1-10 nucleotides relative to the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 3 and functioning as a vascular tissue- and trichome-specific promoter; and (c) DNA consisting of a fragment of the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 3 and functioning as a vascular tissue- and trichome-specific promoter.
