Legume-like storage protein promoter isolated from flax and methods of expressing proteins in plant seeds using the promoter

   
   

Novel methods for the expression of non-native genes in flax seeds and the seeds of other plant species are provided. The methods involve the use of seed-specific promoters obtained from flax. Additionally provided are novel flax seed-specific promoters, chimeric nucleic acid constructs comprising novel flax seed-specific promoters, transgenic plant cells, transgenic plants and transgenic plant seeds containing novel flax seed-specific promoters. The promoters and methods are useful, for example, for altering the seed oil and protein composition in flax seed or other plant seeds.

Los métodos de la novela para la expresión de genes extranjeros en semillas de lino y las semillas de otras especies de la planta se proporcionan. Los métodos implican el uso de los promotores semilla-especi'ficos obtenidos del lino. Proporcionan además los promotores semilla-especi'ficos del lino de la novela, las construcciones quiméricas del ácido nucleic que abarcan a promotores semilla-especi'ficos del lino de la novela, las células transgenic de la planta, las plantas transgenic y las semillas transgenic de la planta conteniendo a promotores semilla-especi'ficos del lino de la novela. Los promotores y los métodos son útiles, por ejemplo, para alterar la composición del aceite y de la proteína de semilla en semilla de lino u otras semillas de la planta.
