Summary for Patent: 6,462,258

Title:	Plant expression constructs
Abstract:	The present invention relates to a novel plant expression construct. More specifically the present invention provides a DNA construct comprising 5\' regulatory sequences for modulating the expression of operably linked genes in plants.
Inventor(s):	Fincher; Karen L. (Pacific, MO), Wilkinson; Jack Q. (Redwood City, CA)
Assignee:	Monsanto Technology LLC (St. Louis, MO)
Application Number:	09/737,698
Patent Claims:	1. A DNA construct comprising: a first expression cassette, a second expression cassette, and a third expression cassette, wherein said first expression cassette in operable linkage comprises (i) a Figwort mosaic virus 35S promoter; (ii) a heterologous 5' untranslated leader; (iii) a chloroplast transit peptide DNA sequence; (iv) a DNA sequence encoding a glyphosate tolerant EPSPS; and (v) a transcriptional terminator; and said second expression cassette comprising in operable linkage (a) an Arabidopsis Elongation factor 1.alpha. promoter with homologous EF1.alpha. intron; (b) a chloroplast transit peptide DNA sequence; (d) a DNA sequence encoding a glyphosate tolerant EPSPS; and (e) a transcriptional terminator; and said third expression cassette comprising in operable linkage (I) an Arabidopsis Act2 promoter with homologous Act2 intron; (II) a chloroplast transit peptide DNA sequence; (III) a DNA sequence encoding a glyphosate tolerant EPSPS; and (IV) a transcriptional terminator. 2. A plant comprising the DNA construct of claim 1. 3. A plant of claim 2, wherein said plant is tolerant to glyphosate. 4. A plant of claim 3, wherein said plant is a dicot plant. 5. A method of controlling weeds, the method comprising: (1) providing a transformed crop plant with a DNA construct of claim 1; (2) selecting said transformed crop plant for tolerance to glyphosate herbicide; and (3) applying to the field in which the transformed crop plant is being grown a sufficient amount of glyphosate to inhibit weed growth without affecting the growth of said transformed crop plant.
