Characteristics and potential applications of tested promoter sequences

Promoter	Description	Applications
pGene19774	Strong expression in receptacle and seeds from stage 1 to ripe.	Overexpress genes of interest or drive RNAi constructs. When one desires high level of expression despite less tissue specificity. When strong expression in ripe fruit is needed.
pGene21624	Strong expression in receptacle and seeds from stage 1 to ripe.	Overexpress genes of interest or drive RNAi constructs. When one desires high level of expression despite less tissue specificity. When strong expression in ripe fruit is needed.
pGene03606	Expressed in receptacle but not seed from stages 1 to 5.	Drive receptacle-specific expression of genes of interest or RNAi constructs. When one desires preferential expression in receptacle.
pGene06301	Expressed in receptacle but not seed. From stage 1 to ripe, expression decreases as fruit matures.	Drive receptacle-specific expression of genes of interest or RNAi constructs. When one desires receptacle-specific expression at the early stages of fruit development.
pGene25908	Expressed in receptacle but not seed. Expression is induced by fertilization (from stage 2 to ripe).	Drive receptacle-specific and fertilization-induced expression of genes of interest or RNAi constructs.
pGene02647	Expressed in receptacle but also in seed from stage 1 to ripe. Expression level increases post fertilization.	Drive expression of genes of interest or RNAi construct. When one desires gradual increase of expression in receptacle and seed post fertilization (from stage 2 to ripe). Drive expression in ripe fruit.
pGene16792	Expressed in receptacle but also in seed from stage 1 to ripe. Expression increases post fertilization.	Drive expression of genes of interest or RNAi construct. When one desires gradual increase of expression in receptacle and seed post fertilization (from stage 2 to ripe). Drive expression in ripe fruit.
