This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing aZea maysGRMZM2G138258 promoter. Some embodiments relate to aZea maysGRMZM2G138258 promoter that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences. Other embodiments relate to aZea maysGRMZM2G138258 3’UTR that functions in plants to terminate transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences.本揭示內容係關於利用玉米(Zea mays) GRMZM2G138258啟動子啟動植物或植物細胞中核苷酸序列之轉錄之組合物及方法。一些實施例係關於在植物中用於啟動可操作連接之核苷酸序列之轉錄的玉米GRMZM2G138258啟動子。其他實施例係關於在植物中用於終止可操作連接之核苷酸序列之轉錄的玉米GRMZM2G138258 3’UTR。
