Abstract

The invention relates to expression cassettes and vectors, which contain vegetable constitutive promoters and to the use of these expression cassettes or vectors for the transgenic expression of nucleic acid sequences preferably selection markers in organisms, preferably in plants. The invention also relates to transgenic plants that have been transformed using these expression cassettes or vectors, to cultures, parts or propagation products derived from these plants, and to the use of these plants for producing food and animal feed agents, seeds, pharmaceuticals, or fine chemicals.
