Abstract

Fragments of the 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus are disclosed which exhibit selective expression of chimeric plant genes in plant tissue. Promoter fragment A exhibits selective expression in root tissue and the radical of the seed. Promoter fragment B exhibits constitutive expression in plant tissue other than root tissue.
