  • Elongase promoters for tissue-specific expression of transgenes in plants
    Publication number: 20030159173
    Abstract: The invention relates to chimerical genes that have (i) a DNA sequence coding for a desired product, and (ii) an elongase promoter. The DNA sequence is functionally linked with the promoter to allow expression of the product under the control of the promoter. The invention further relates to vectors, plant cells, plants and plant parts and microorganisms that contain the chimerical gene and to methods for producing such vectors, plant cells, plants and plant parts and microorganisms.
