Abstract
Promoters and genes involved in avenacin production in oats are cloned and characterized. Promoters for oxidosqualene cyclase and a cytochrome P450 are shown to be useful in root-specific expression of genes operatively linked to these promoters when introduced into plants. Sequences operably linked to the promoters are expressed in root epidermal cells.
