The present invention provides promoters for driving the expression of heterologous polynucleotide sequences in plant cells. The promoters are derived from strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV), and include variants, derivatives, fragments, and modified versions of the naturally occurring promoter sequences. The present invention also provides expression cassettes comprising the promoters, as well as methods of using the promoters to drive gene expression in plant cells and transgenic plants.
