Abstract

The invention relates to tissue specific promoters which can be used in plants for one or more of the following purposes: a. altering carbohydrate metabolism b. preventing memory substance loss c. expression of an invertase inhibitor d. expression of a fructosyl transferase e. expression of a levan sucrase f. expression of genes coding for transported proteins for N-compounds g. expression of characteristics which increase resistance/tolerance with respect to pathogens.
