A PLANT REGULATORY REGION THAT DIRECTS TRANSGENE EXPRESSION IN THE MATERNAL AND SUPPORTING TISSUE OF MAIZE OVULES AND POLLINATED KERNELS

摘要

Compositions and methods for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant are provided. Compositions include a novel nucleotide sequence for a maize actin depolymerization factor 4 promoter. Also provided is a method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using a promoter sequence disclosed herein.
