Soybean EF1A promoter and its use in constitutive expression of transgenic genes in plants

摘要

The promoter of a soybean translation elongation factor EF1 alpha, a polypeptide that promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis, and fragments thereof and their use in promoting the expression of one or more heterologous nucleic acid fragments in a tissue-independent or constitutive manner in plants are described.
