ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a novel means for enhancing the expression of genes by the use of the first intron of the Zea mays Sh1 cDNA, functional sequences derived therefrom and/or sequences flanking the first Sh1 intron, placed between the transcription start site and the translation start site of the coding sequence for enhanced expression is sought. The DNA sequences provided herein can be used, for example, to increase protein expression in engineered plant cells or in transgenic plants.
