The present invention provides a composition and method for regulating expression
of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. The composition is a novel nucleic
acid sequence for a promoter. A method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide
sequence in a plant using the promoter sequence is also provided. The method comprises
transforming a plant cell to contain a heterologous nucleotide sequence operably
linked to the promoter of the present invention and regenerating a stably transformed
plant from the transformed plant cell.
