Ubiquitin promoters from rice and sugarcane
Apart from patents on the ubiquitin regulatory system from maize, there are also patents specifically claiming ubiquitin promoters from rice and sugarcane.
The Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College holds a United States patent (US 6528701) on rice ubiquitin promoters. This patent claims a rice ubiquitin promoter and a method for using it in controlling gene expression in plants. It shows in the description that the rice ubiquitin promoter is stronger than the maize ubiquitin promoter in driving gene expression in rice.
United States of America as represented by the Secretory of Agriculture & University of Hawaii has three United States patents (US 6706948, US 6686513 and US 6638766) on sugarcane ubiquitin promoters (UBI4 and UBI9).
