The invention provides an anther-specific expression promoter in plant,
wherein said promoter is a promoter of Oncidium aureusidin synthase gene
OgAS1, and has a sequence as SEQ ID No: 3. The invention provides further
a gene expression cassette that comprised a promoter having a DNA
sequence as SEQ ID No: 3, and a polynucleotide that encode an open
reading frame and is linked to the 3' end of said promoter, wherein said
promoter can activate the transcription of said polynucleotide in an
organism containing said gene expression cassette. The invention provides
also a gene expression vector that contains a promoter having DNA
sequence as SEQ ID No: 3. The invention provides further a process for
producing a transgenic plant or part of organ, tissue or cell of said
transgenic plant containing the above-described gene expression cassette.
