  • Enod2 gene regulatory region
    Patent number: 7214861
    Abstract: A plant promoter is provided comprising the regulatory region of a legume Enod2 gene, a gene expressed in nodule tissue of legumes in the early stages of nodulation. The promoter operates to express foreign genes under its control in developing nodules. The sequence of two soybean Enod2 genes with their regulatory regions is provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Enod2 gene regulatory region
    Patent number: 5631358
    Abstract: The subject invention concerns a regulatory region of a legume early nodulin gene (Enod2) comprising promoter and promoter-associated nucleotide sequences. The Enod2 gene is expressed in nodule tissue of legumes in the early stages of nodulation. The Enod2 regulatory region can be used to express foreign genes under its control in developing nodules. Nucleotide sequences of soybean Enod2 genes with their regulatory regions is provided.
