Abstract
The promoters of genes encoding rice seed storage proteins (glutelin, prolamin, globulin and albumin) were analyzed for their ability to dir ect beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene expression in transgenic rice plants . All promoters tested could direct endosperm-specific expression of t he GUS reporter gene irrespective of variable activities and patterns in the endosperm.
