  • polyubiquitin Bul409 promoter and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8927702
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated Solanum Bulbocastanum Bul409 promoter sequences and uses thereof. An exemplary embodiment provides an isolated plant Bul409 promoter comprising a nucleic acid sequence that is at least about 90% identical to nucleotides 1-771 of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the promoter sequence is capable of controlling transcription in a plant. Other exemplary embodiments provide a method for making a transgenic plant, wherein the method comprises transforming a plant, plant part, or plant cell with an expression vector comprising isolated plant Bul409 promoter operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, wherein the isolated plant Bul409 promoter is capable of controlling transcription of the heterologous nucleic acid in a plant, and a transgenic plant made by the method and decendants thereof.
    Type: Grant
