## Summary A 2.4 kb fragment containing the 5 ‐flanking region and the 5′‐noncoding sequence of the __Vicia faba__ legumin gene __LeB4__ mediates high level seed‐specific expression in transgenic tobacco plants. Deleted derivatives of this legumin upstream sequence were fused to the __npt‐ll__ repo
