Abstract

Cassettes d'expressions spécifiques de semences permettant la régulation et l'expression, dans certaines plantes, de protéines importantes pour les besoins pharmacologiques et industriels. On peut construire rapidement ces cassettes en joignant des éléments régulateurs par l'intermédiaire de sites enzymatiques de restriction synthétisés pour produire les oligomères d'amplification utilisés afin de cloner les sites régulateurs. Selon un procédé de l'invention, la région d'activation du gène de phaséoline est fixée à un gène intron codant pour la somatotropine bovine (Bst), et elle est liée à un signal poly-A provenant de la phaséoline, de la Bst, ou des deux, afin de permettre un transfert dans un génome de plantes.
