This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a Zea mays GRMZM2G047720 promoter. Some embodiments relate to a Zea mays GRMZM2G047720 promoter that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences. Other embodiments relate to a Zea mays GRMZM2G047720 3’UTR that functions in plants to terminate transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences.本發明係有關採用玉蜀黍GRMZM2G144030啟動子以促進核苷酸序列在植物或植物細胞中轉錄之組合物及方法。一些實施例係有關玉蜀黍GRMZM2G144030啟動子在植物中具有促進以可操作地連接之核苷酸序列轉錄作用的功能。其它實施例係有關玉蜀黍GRMZM2G144030 3’UTR在植物中具有促進以可操作地連接之核苷酸序列轉錄作用的功能。
