Abstract
This invention relates to compositions and methods useful in the production of transgenic plants. In particular, the invention relates to maize metallothionein gene transcription regulatory sequences which are useful for directing expression of heterologous DNAs in plant embryo tissue. The invention also relates to expression cassettes containing the promoter sequences and to transgenic plants containing the expression cassettes.
