Chimeric promoters comprising a caulimovirus promoter enhancer for use in plants

摘要

The present invention provides polynucleotide molecules useful for expressing transgenes in plants. More particularly, the present invention provides chimeric promoters comprising a Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter enhancer fused with a plant actin gene promoter. The present invention also provides expression constructs containing the chimeric promoter. The present invention also provides transgenic plants and seeds containing the chimeric promoter.
