The present invention relates to a novel expression cassette comprising a
nucleic acid sequence encoding an EPSPS. In particular, the present
invention relates to a novel expression cassette comprising, in the
direction of transcription, functionally linked to one another, a
promoter regulatory sequence which is functional in plant cells or
plants, a nucleic acid sequence encoding an EPSPS and a terminator
sequence which is functional in plant cells or plants, characterized in
that the promoter regulatory sequence is a nucleic acid sequence chosen
from the promoter regulatory sequences of the CsVMV (Cassaya Vein Mosaic
Virus) plant virus.
