A flower tissue-specific promoter, and uses thereof, is the promoter for
Phalaenopsis 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase, ACC synthase
gene PtACS2, and has a sequence as shown in SEQ ID No: 2. The invention
further provides a gene expression cassette, which is composed of a
promoter having a DNA sequence as SEQ ID No: 2, and a polynucleotide with
an open reading frame linked to the 3' end of said promoter, wherein said
promoter can activate transcription of said polynucleotide in an organism
containing said gene expression cassette. The invention provides
furthermore a gene expression vector, which is composed of a promoter
having a DNA sequence as SEQ ID No: 2. The invention provides further a
method for producing a transgenic plant or parts of organ, tissue or cell
of the transgenic plant that contain a gene expression cassette described
above.
