14 Claims

1. A method for modulating the expression of transgene expression in tissue of plants, the method comprising the steps of:

a. Providing at least one gene expression cassette comprising a sRNA target site of SEQ ID NO:4 operably linked to a transgene into a plant; and,

b. Expressing the transgene, wherein the modulation of the transgene expression occurs in seed-coat specific plant tissue and the transgene is expressed in the other plant tissues.
