PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide novel gene regulatory elements such as promoters, leaders and introns derived from melon, which are useful for regulating gene expression in plants and plant cells. A) a sequence having at least 90 percent sequence identity with respect to the entire length of a specific base sequence exhibiting gene regulatory activity; b) a sequence comprising the specific base sequence; and c) a gene regulatory activity. A DNA molecule exhibiting gene regulatory functional activity, comprising a polynucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of fragments, comprising at least 500 contiguous nucleotides of said specific base sequence, wherein said heterologous transcribable polynucleotide molecule A DNA molecule operably linked to A DNA molecule, wherein the heterologous transcribable polynucleotide molecule contains an agronomically important gene, and the gene confers herbicide resistance and pest resistance in plants.
