  • Promoter for transformation of monocot plants
    Publication number: 20040187174
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for varying a trait of monocot plants, which comprises steps of transforming a monocot plant with a recombinant plasmid containing OsCc1 promoter for transformation of monocot plants and a desired foreign gene and of expressing said foreign gene. According to the present invention, a rice plant was transformed with a recombinant plasmid containing a promoter for rice cytochrome c gene (OsCc1) and sgfp gene encoding a transformed green fluorescent protein, and the expressed fluorescent protein was then analyzed; as a result, it was identified that OsCc1 promoter can strongly, stably and ubiquitously induce the expression of a foreign gene in all the tissues of the rice plant.
