ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the isolation and characterization of a constitutive α-tubulin promoter from a coffee plant. The isolated promoter of the present invention is capable of inducing the expression of a protein encoded by a DNA molecule that is operably linked to the promoter in a DNA construct. The present invention also relates to DNA constructs expression systems, host cells, and transgenic plants and plant seeds containing the promoter of the invention. The present invention also relates to a method of making a transgenic plant and a method of directing protein expression in plants that involve transforming a plant cell with a DNA construct containing the promoter of the invention.
