The invention provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of
heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. Compositions are novel nucleotide
sequences for seed-preferred promoters isolated from genes for end1 and end2. A
method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using the disclosed
promoter sequences is provided. The method comprises transforming a plant cell
to comprise a heterologous nucleotide sequence operably linked to one of the promoters
of the invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant from the transformed
plant cell.
