Summary for Patent: 5,684,239
Title: Monocot having dicot wound-inducible promoter
Abstract:The present invention describes the activity of a dicot wound inducible promoter in a monocot plant, the use of a monocot intron to enhance the activity of a dicot promoter in a transgenic monocot, and genetic constructs to introduce an exogenous genetic trait into a monocot plant using a wound inducible dicot promoter system.
Inventor(s): Wu; Ray (Ithaca, NY), McElroy; David (Ithaca, NY), Xu; Deping (Ithaca, NY)
Assignee: Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. (Ithaca, NY)
Application Number:08/303,446
Patent Claims:1. A wound inducible promoter construct for use in monocotyledonous plants consisting essentially of, in 5' to 3' order, a potato proteinase inhibitor II gene promoter and a 5' intron of rice actin 1 gene promoter.

2. A nucleic acid construct comprising:

a wound inducible promoter construct consisting essentially of, in 5' to 3' order, a potato proteinase inhibitor II gene promoter and a 5' intron of rice actin 1 gene promoter; and

a foreign gene of interest under regulatory control of said wound inducible promoter construct.

3. A monocotyledonous plant comprising:

a wound inducible promoter construct consisting essentially of, in 5' to 3' order, a potato proteinase inhibitor II gene promoter and a 5' intron of rice actin 1 gene promoter; and

a foreign gene of interest under regulatory control of said wound inducible promoter construct.

4. A rice plant comprising:

a wound inducible promoter construct consisting essentially of, in 5' to 3' order, a potato proteinase inhibitor II gene promoter and a 5' intron of rice actin 1 gene promoter; and

a foreign gene of interest under regulatory control of said wound inducible promoter construct.
