The invention relates to methods for the targeted transgenic expression of nucleic acid sequences in tissues of plants, and to transgenic expression cassettes and expression vectors comprising promoters with expression specificity for floral tissues. The invention further relates to organisms (preferably plants) transformed with these transgenic expression cassettes or expression vectors, to cultures, parts or propagation material derived from these organisms, and to their use for the production of foodstuffs, feedstuffs, seed, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals.
