PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a DNA having a promotor activity bringing a leaf specific expression, a recombinant plasmid containing the DNA and enabling the expression of an objective gene as leaf specific, and a transformed plant body introduced with the recombinant vector. SOLUTION: This DNA can function as a promotor shown in the following (a), (b) or (c). (a) A DNA consists of a specific base sequence derived from rice, (b) A DNA consists of a base sequence obtained by deleting, substituting or adding one or several bases in the DNA derived from the rice and having the promotor activity for bringing the leaf specific expression. (c) A DNA consists of the part of a specific base sequence derived from the rice and having the promotor activity for bringing the leaf specific expression. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
