Abstract: This disclosure provides transgenic plants, including crop plants and methods for their production. The transgenic plants comprise recombinant DNA constructs for the expression of polypeptides encoded by the DNA constructs. The polypeptides are capable of conferring improved traits to the transgenic plants when expressed under the control of a tissue-enhanced promoter. This disclosure also pertains to transgenic plants and their progeny plants, wherein the transgenic or progeny plants comprise the recombinant DNA constructs and are selected for having enhanced nitrogen use efficiency and/or nitrogen uptake. Seed of the transgenic plants that can be grown into a plant that comprise the disclosed recombinant DNA constructs and exhibits having enhanced nitrogen use efficiency, and which may be selected for this trait, are also envisioned.

Abstract: Tissue-enhanced promoter sequences were identified that enhance expression of a polypeptide in one or more plant tissues. These promoters may be used to produce transgenic plants that have an altered trait relative to control plants. In preferred embodiments, the transgenic plants with the improved traits are morphologically and/or developmentally similar to control plants (examples of the latter include wild-type or non-transformed plants of the same species). Any of these tissue-enhanced promoters may be incorporated into a nucleic acid construct that comprises a polynucleotide regulated by one such promoter and that encodes a polypeptide or RNA molecule that, when ectopically expressed, confers an improved trait in plants.
