Cryptic regulatory elements obtained from plants |
December 4, 2007 |
| T-DNA tagging with a promoterless .beta.-glucuronidase (GUS) gene generated transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants that expressed GUS activity either only in developing seed coats, or constitutively. Cloning and deletion analysis of the GUS fusion revealed that the promoter responsible |
