Maize H3C4 promoter bound to first intron of rice actin, chimeric gene containing said promoter and transformed plant

摘要

The present invention relates to a DNA sequence, a 5' regulatory element allowing the expression of a heterologous gene in a plant cell from a monocotyledonous plant, characterized in that it comprises, in the direction of transcription, a first DNA sequence, which is a functional fragment of the sequence of the maize H3C4 promoter, and a second DNA sequence, which is a functional fragment of the sequence of the first intron of rice actin. The invention also relates to a chimeric gene comprising the said DNA sequence and the plants transformed with the said gene.
