Banana promoters

This invention provides promoter sequences that are useful for modulating transcription of a desired polynucleotide and/or in the construction of recombinant genes for plant transformation to enable expression of foreign or endogenous coding sequences in plants. The promoters are functional in a both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plant species and are active in a wide range of vegetative or generative plant organs. The invention also provides a polynucleotide construct comprising a promoter of the invention operably linked to a foreign or endogenous polynucleotide encoding a protein of interest or a transcript capable of modulating expression of a target gene. The invention is further concerned with transformed plant cells, as well as differentiated plants, plant parts, plant tissues or plant seeds containing the construct.
