Abstract
This invention provides a transcriptional regulatory region of a gene which will be utilized to direct tissue-specific gene expression in plants such that a selective advantage is conferred upon said plants. The present invention relates to the isolation, characterization and utilization of a transcriptional regulatory region of a plant gene which is expressed in a floral tissue-specific manner. The transcriptional control region of said gene is demonstrated to drive gene expression in a floral-specific manner in vivo using transgenic plants.
