Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and compositions for the expression of transgenes in monocot plants including maize. SOLUTION: Gene silencing is avoided by use of monocot-homeologous sequences from plants of the genus Coix for transformation. Included in these transgene sequences are Coix promoters, enhancers, coding sequences and terminators. Suitable alternatives to maize-derived transgenes are desirable for expression in maize in that homology-based gene silencing can limit or effectively eliminate transgene expression.
