  • Tissue-preferential promoters
    Patent number: 6018099
    Abstract: DNA sequences are able to function as promoters of tissue-preferential transcription of associated DNA sequences in plants, particularly in the roots. These DNA sequences can be used in transformation vectors to produce transgenic plants which will express the heterologous genes preferentially in tissue, particularly in the roots of maize plants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 25, 1995
    Date of Patent: January 25, 2000
