Hydroxypyruvate reductase promoter elements and methods of use thereof in plants

摘要

The invention provides compositions and methods for regulating the expression of nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant. Compositions include a novel nucleotide sequence comprising a promoter for the hydroxypyruvate reductase gene. Methods for expressing a nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant using the promoter sequences disclosed herein is provided. The method comprises stably incorporating into the genome of a plant cell a nucleotide sequence operably linked to the promoter of the present invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant that expresses the nucleodide sequence.
