Summary for Patent: 8,673,631
Title:Chimeric regulatory sequences comprising introns for plant gene expression
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of using a dicot intron or elements thereof to enhance transgene expression in plants. The present invention also provides constructs, transgenic plants and seeds containing the polynucleotide useful for expressing transgene in plants.
Inventor(s): Flasinski; Stanislaw (Chesterfield, MO), Hubmeier; Christopher (Ballwin, MO), Lu; Maolong (St. Louis, MO), Malven; Marianne (Ellisville, MO), Wu; Wei (St. Louis, MO)
Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLC (St. Louis, MO)
Application Number:13/280,227
Patent Claims:1. A chimeric DNA regulatory sequence comprising a monocot promoter operably linked to a dicot intron, wherein said chimeric DNA regulatory sequence provides enhanced transgene expression in dicot plants relative to a regulatory sequence comprising a monocot promoter without a dicot intron, wherein said dicot intron is the first intron of At-Act7 and said monocot promoter is the rice TPI promoter.

2. The chimeric DNA regulatory sequence of claim 1, further comprising a sequence encoding a glyphosate tolerance protein.

3. The chimeric DNA regulatory sequence of claim 2, wherein said glyphosate tolerance protein is selected from the group consisting of glyphosate oxidoreductase, glyphosate acetyltransferase, and 5-enolpyruvyl-3-phosphoshikimate synthase.
