Tissue-preferred promoters and methods of use

摘要

Compositions and methods for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant are provided. Compositions include tissue-preferred promoters operably linked to morphogenic genes. Also provided is a method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using a promoter sequence disclosed herein operably linked to a morphogenic gene. DNA constructs comprising a promoter operably linked to a morphogenic gene and further comprising a heterologous nucleotide sequence of interest are also provided.
