The present invention relates to the field of plant genetic engineering. More specifically, the present invention relates to seed specific gene expression during a defined period of embryogenesis. The present invention provides promoters capable of transcribing heterologous nucleic acid sequences in seeds, and methods of modifying, producing, and using the same. L'invention concerne le domaine du génie génétique des plantes. Plus spécifiquement, l'invention concerne l'expression génique spécifique de semences durant une période définie de l'embryogenèse. L'invention permet d'obtenir des promoteurs capables de transcrire des séquences d'acides nucléiques hétérologues dans des semences, ainsi que des procédés permettant de modifier, produire et utiliser ces promoteurs.
