Provided are a seed-specific expression promoter derived from sesame
microsomal oleic acid desaturase (Si-FAD2) gene, an intron for expression
enhancement, a seed-specific expression vector including the promoter
and/or the intron, and a transgenic plant transformed with the
seed-specific expression vector. Therefore, a useful product can be
produced in a seed-specific manner or a common product in a seed can be
functionally modified. Also, the promoter can be used together with the
intron for expression enhancement, thereby increasing the expression
level of an inserted gene in a seed. Therefore, it is very useful in
development of a transgenic plant which induces large-scale expression of
a foreign gene in a seed-specific manner.
