Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sugar cane plant cell comprising a recombinant nucleic acid molecule is provided, the recombinant nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence of interest, a promoter and the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the promoter is downstream of and in operative association with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and upstream of and in operative association with the nucleotide sequence of interest, and the nucleotide sequence of interest is expressed at a level at least about 6 times greater than the level of expression of said nucleotide sequence of interest in a control. Additionally, a method of increasing the expression of a nucleotide sequence of interest in a sugar cane plant cell using the recombinant nucleic acid molecule of the invention is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed: 1. A sugar cane plant cell comprising a recombinant nucleic acid molecule, the recombinant nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence of interest, a promoter and the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the promoter is downstream of and in operative association with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and upstream of and in operative association with the nucleotide sequence of interest, and the nucleotide sequence of interest is expressed at a level at least about 6 times greater than the level of expression of said nucleotide sequence of interest in a control, further wherein the promoter is a maize polyubiquitin-1 promoter and/or a maize PepC promoter. 2. The sugar cane plant cell of claim 1 , wherein the recombinant nucleic acid molecule further comprises a Kozak sequence. 3. A sugar cane plant or sugar cane plant part comprising the plant cell of claim 1 . 4. A crop comprising a plurality of the sugar cane plants of claim 3 planted together in an agricultural field. 5. A method of increasing the expression of a nucleotide sequence of interest in a sugar cane plant cell, comprising: introducing into the sugar cane plant cell a recombinant nucleic acid molecule, the recombinant nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence of interest, a promoter and the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein the promoter is downstream of and in operative association with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and upstream of and in operative association with the nucleotide sequence of interest, under conditions where the nucleotide sequence of interest is expressed, further wherein the promoter is a maize polyubiquitin-1 promoter and/or a maize PepC promoter, thereby increasing the level of expression of the nucleotide sequence of interest to at least about 6 times greater than the level of expression of said nucleotide sequence of interest in a control. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the recombinant nucleic acid molecule further comprises a Kozak sequence. 7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising regenerating a plant from the plant cell. 8. A sugar cane plant cell produced by the method of claim 4 . 9. A sugar cane plant produced by the method of claim 7 . 10. A crop comprising a plurality of the sugar cane plants of claim 9 planted together in an agricultural field. 11. The method of claim 6 , further comprising regenerating a plant from the plant cell. 12. A sugar cane plant cell produced by the method of claim 5 .
