METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR EXPRESSING A POLYNUCLEOTIDE OF INTEREST. Methods and compositions for expression of a polynucleotide of interest are provided. The compositions comprise an enhancer domain set forth in Seq. N: 1, 10, 15 or 16 and active variants and fragments thereof. Also provided are DNA constructs comprising at least one transcription enhancer sequence comprising the nucleotide sequence set forth in Id. De Seq. N: 1, 10, 15 or 16 or an active variant and fragment thereof, operably linked to a heterologous promoter. Such chimeric transcriptional regulatory regions may be operably linked to any polynucleotide of interest. Also provided are cells, plants, plant parts, and germplasm comprising DNA construction. Methods of using the chimeric transcriptional regulatory region are also provided. In specific embodiments, methods of expression of a polynucleotide of interest, including, for example, herbicide tolerant sequences, and methods for selecting a cell having the DNA construct, are provided. |
