Promoters Used for Driving the Expression of Transgenes in Different Plant Species -

Promoter Source Relative Activity
35S CaMV 35S RNA gene Constitutive, high activity; most commonly used in dicots
35S + Adh1-I 1 35S promoter + first intron of maize Adh1 gene Enhanced promoter activity; constitutive
35S + sh1-I 1 35S promoter + first intron of maize shrunken 1 gene Better than 35S + Adh1-I 1 in monocots; constitutive
Adh1 Promoter of alcohol dehydrogenase gene of maize Moderate activity in cereals; anaerobic expression
Emu Modified from Adh1 promoter and its first intron Moderate activity in cereals; anaerobic expression
Act1 + Act-I 1 Rice actin gene + its first intron Moderate activity; constitutive
Ubi1 + Ubi1-I 1 (or I 6) Maize ubiquitin 1 gene promoter + its first (or sixth) intron High activity in cereals; constitutive
Vicilin promoter Pea vicilin storage protein gene Seed-specific promoter
