Patent number: 10036028Abstract: The Zea mays c.v. B73 Ubiquitin-1 (Z. mays c.v. B73 Ubi-1) promoter drives high levels of constitutive transgene expression in plants. Repeated use of the same Z. mays c.v. B73 Ubi-1 promoter in multi-gene constructs may also lead to gene silencing, thereby making transgenic products less efficacious. Provided are gene regulatory promoter elements, constructs, and methods for expressing a transgene in plant cells and/or plant tissues using gene regulatory elements from the Ubi-1 promoter of a different Zea species, Z. luxurians v1.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Sandeep Kumar, Manju Gupta, Terry R. Wright, Susan M. Jayne, Doug A. Smith, Diaa Alabed
