Using a fractionated genomic bank, we have cloned and characterized a Brassica napus gene (rbcSF1) encoding the small sub-unit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase. The promoter of this gene contains a 29 bp direct repeat capable of forming a single or a double hairpin loop, and three elements t...
