摘要：
PCT No. PCT/GB92/00627 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 18, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 18, 1994 PCT Filed Apr. 8, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/18634 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 29, 1992A new seed-specific plant promoter is provided, capable of expressing a gene placed under control of said promoter before or during fatty acid or lipid biosynthesis in plant cells. In nature it occurs in the acyl carrier protein (ACP) gene. This opens the possibility of modifying the fatty acid synthesis in plants, which may result in changing the triacylglycerol composition of oil-containing seeds. Another option is the production of a desired protein in plants, either to improve the nutritional value of the seeds, or for the production of specific proteins that can be isolated from the fruits of plants.
