Fuente: WIPO "tomato" Cis-acting regulatory elements were identified and engineered as a modulating element within a regulatory element (for example, a promoter, 5′UTR, intron or 3′UTR). Next, the chimeric cis-acting regulatory element and promoter were assayed to determine if the cis-acting regulatory elements could enhance the expression of a downstream coding sequence operably linked to the chimeric cis-acting regulatory element and promoter. Disclosed are novel cis-acting regulatory elements that were identified to enhance the expression of a downstream coding sequence.
