Patent number: 8604278Abstract: The invention relates to expression cassettes and vectors which contain constitutive promoters of plants and to the use of these expression cassettes or vectors for transgenic expression of nucleic acid sequences, preferably selection markers, in organisms, preferably in plants. The invention further relates to transgenic plants which have been transformed with the expression cassettes or vectors, to cultures, parts or propagation material derived from these plants, and to the use of these plants for the production of food and animal feedstuffs, seed, pharmaceuticals, or fine chemicals.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2011Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: SunGene GmbH & Co. KGaAInventors: Ute Heim, Helke Hillebrand, Irene Kunze, Karin Herbers, Uwe Sonnewald, Eric Glickmann, Wolfgang Lein, Rüdiger Hell, Ricarda Jost

Patent number: 8519114Abstract: The present invention relates to expression cassettes comprising transcription regulating sequences with constitutive expression profiles in plants obtainable from Arabidopsis thaliana genes At5g17920, At3g03780, At2g01100, At2g34770, At5g61560, At4g00830, At3g10220, At4g38520, At3g11110, At2g47170, Atlg64090, At5g60690, Atlg76350, At1g76580, Atlg31930, At5g18230, Atlg20970, or At4g35620. The expression cassettes according to the present invention may be employed for expression of a protein, or expression of an antisense RNA, sense or double-stranded RNA. Preferably, expression of the nucleic acid sequence confers to the plant an agronomically valuable trait. Vectors comprising such an expression cassette, and transgenic host cell or non-human organism comprising the expression cassette or the vector are also enclosed. Also enclosed is a method for identifying and/or isolating a sequence with constitutive transcription regulating activity.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: SunGene GmbHInventors: Ulrich Keetman, Ute Linemann, Karin Herbers, Helke Hillebrand
