The present invention refers to an isolated nucleic acid molecule for
expression of a gene in seeds, having promoter activity, comprising a
nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1, a
first sequence at least 70% homologous to SEQ ID NO:1, with the
functionality of SEQ ID NO:1, a second sequence at least 70% homologous to
the sequence complementary to SEQ ID NO:1, with the functionality of SEQ
ID NO:1, and fragments thereof, with the functionality of SEQ ID NO:1; to
chimeric genes, constructs, vectors, expression cassettes, host cells and
transgenic plants comprising said sequences; as well as to a method for
expression of a gene specifically in seeds or seed parts using one of the
mentioned sequences or chimeric genes comprising said sequence s and to a
method for obtaining substances through the transferring of the mentioned
chimeric genes to a plant and expressing said chimeric gene.
