Abstract

Promoters in the 5' non-translated region of genes from Cuphea lanceota that code for .beta.-ketoacyl-(ACP) reductase are disclosed, as well as alleles and derivatives of said promoters. These promoters in the 5' non-translated region may for example be coupled with foreign genes, forming chimeric genes, and be transmitted to plants in appropriate vector systems.
