ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a novel bi-directional promoter. The present invention further provides methods of producing proteins of interest and methods of controlling gene expression using the bi-directional promoter. The present invention also provides methods of expressing one or more proteins of interest from a novel bi-directional promoter of the present invention. The present invention thus provides improved methods of regulating gene expression in plants or other organisms and expressing one or more proteins concurrently in a variety of cell types.
