FULL LENGTH TRANSCRIPT (FLt) PROMOTER FROM FIGWORT MOSAIC CAULIMOVIRUS (FMV) AND USE TO EXPRESS CHIMERIC GENES IN PLANT CELLS

摘要

Use of wild type and modified viral FLt promoters of FMV in the expression of chimeric genes in plant cells. The FLt promoter from FMV is modified with duplicated enhancer domains. The FLt promoter with its single or double enhancer domains is linked to heterologous coding sequences to form chimeric gene constructs. These genes have been shown to be expressed well in plant cells.
