  • Citrus derived transcription and translation regulatory elements for tissue specific expression
    Patent number: 10047369
    Abstract: Expression vectors and expression cassettes containing a tissue specific 5? transcription regulatory element, optionally linked to a translation regulatory element, optionally linked to an intron transcription regulatory element, operably linked to a heterologous polynucleotide encoding a protein or RNA of interest are described. The 5? transcription regulatory elements control expression in root tissue cells, phloem tissue cells, or fruit and/or abscission zone tissue cells. These sequences are obtained from citrus plants. Methods of use of these expression vectors and expression cassettes are described, as well as genetically altered plants and parts thereof that contain these expression vectors and/or cassettes.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 14, 2018
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: William R. Belknap, Kent F. McCue, Roger L. Thilmony, Eddie W. Stover, James G. Thomson
