  • Heat shock promoter and gene
    Patent number: 5447858
    Abstract: A plant heat shock promoter has been isolated from soybean, sequenced and shown to induce gene expression in response to a temporary heat shock. This invention utilizes the disclosed plant heat shock promoters for the construction of promoter/structural gene chimeras which are expressible in plant cells in response to heat shock. The reporter gene .beta.-galactosidase was expressed transiently in response to a heat shock signal. Further, this invention permits application of heat shock inducible chimeras as a detection method for successful transformation of plant cells.
