ABSTRACT:
A gene construct comprising SEQ ID NO:3, a phloem-specific promoter, and protein encoding nucleotide sequence not natively associated with SEQ ID NO:3 is disclosed. A gene construct comprising a protein encoding nucleotide sequence not natively associated with SEQ ID NO:3 and a sufficient portion of SEQ ID NO:3 such that the portion promotes the preferential expression of the protein-encoding nucleotide sequence in phloem tissue is also disclosed. A gene construct comprising a promoter sequence from a PP2-type gene isolated from a Cucurbita and a protein encoding sequence not natively associated with the promoter is disclosed.
