Sunflower albumin 5' regulatory region for the modification of plant seed lipid composition
The present invention is directed to 5' regulatory regions of a sunflower albumin gene. The 5' regulatory regions, when operably linked to either the coding sequence of a heterologous gene or a sequence complementary to a native plant gene direct expression of the coding sequence or comple...

Summary: | The present invention is directed to 5' regulatory regions of a sunflower albumin gene. The 5' regulatory regions, when operably linked to either the coding sequence of a heterologous gene or a sequence complementary to a native plant gene direct expression of the coding sequence or complementary sequence in a plant seed. The regulatory regions are useful in expression cassettes and expression vectors for the transformation of plants. Also provided are methods of modulating the levels of a heterologous gene or native plant gene such as a fatty acid synthesis or lipid metabolism gene by transforming a plant with the subject expression cassettes and expression vectors. |
