ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to a regulatory element useful for genetically engineering sugarcane or other monocots, to the transformation of the monocots with the regulatory element so that they produce a desired product, and to the regeneration of the monocots transformed with the regulatory element. In particular the present disclosure provides a nucleic acid encoding a promoter of a Sugarcane Elongation Factor (SEF), for example, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 5.
