FLAX (LINUM USITATISSIMUM L.) SEED-SPECIFIC PROMOTERS

摘要

The present invention is directed to promoters of flax conlinin and ro-3desaturasegenes. The promoters guide high levels of the expression exclusively in flaxdevelopingseeds. This specific expression pattern concomitant with the biosynthesis ofstorage lipidsand proteins make these promoters particularly useful for seed-specificmodification offatty acid and protein compositions in plant seeds.
