Appl. No.:

8/754282

Inventors:

Xianggan Li - Newark DE
Ben Bown - Des Moines IA
Thomas Peterson - Ames IA

Assignee:

Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. - Des Moines IA

International Classification:

A01H 411
A01H 300
C07H 2104
C12N 510

US Classification:

435419

Abstract:

This invention provides a transcriptional regulatory region of a gene which will be utilized to direct tissue-specific gene expression in plants such that a selective advantage is conferred upon said plants. The present invention relates to the isolation, characterization and utilization of a transcriptional regulatory region of a plant gene which is expressed in a floral tissue-specific manner. The transcriptional control region of said gene is demonstrated to drive gene expression in a floral-specific manner in vivo using transgenic plants.
