Abstract

Provided is a novel plant regulatory sequence active in trichomes which is derived from the TR4 gene of wild tomato (L. hirsutum) and which comprises a nucleic acid at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:26. Also provided are nucleic acid constructs and methods of using same for directing expression of an exogenous polynucleotide sequences in trichomes and transgenic plant cells and transgenic plants which comprise the nucleic acid constructs.
