Abstract

Claims (17)

1. A vector construct comprising:

a) a first nucleic acid promoter comprising at least 98% sequence identity to 1000 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2199, wherein the first nucleic acid promoter has the promoter activity of SEQ ID NO:2199; and

b) a second nucleic acid that is transcribed;

wherein said first nucleic acid promoter and second nucleic acid are heterologous to each other and operably linked.

2. A host cell comprising the vector construct of claim 1 .

3. A method of transforming a host cell which comprises contacting a host cell with a vector construct according to claim 1 .

4. A method of modulating transcription and/or translation of a nucleic acid in a host cell comprising:

a) providing the host cell of claim 2 ; and

b) culturing said host cell under conditions that permit transcription or translation.

5. A plant or cell of a plant which comprises the vector construct according to claim 1 .

6. A plant which has been regenerated from the plant cell according to claim 5 .

7. The vector construct according to claim 1 , wherein said first nucleic acid comprises the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2199.

8. The vector construct according to claim 1 , wherein said first nucleic acid comprises 1,000 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2199.

9. The vector construct according to claim 1 , wherein said first nucleic acid comprises 2,000 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2199.

10. The vector construct according to claim 1 , wherein said first nucleic acid comprises at least 99% sequence identity to 2000 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2199.

11. The vector construct according to claim 1 , wherein said first nucleic acid comprises at least 98% sequence identity to 2000 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2199.

12. The vector construct according to claim 1 , wherein said first nucleic acid comprises at least 99% sequence identity to 1000 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2199.
