Zusammenfassung:	In plant genetic engineering, particularly in but not limited to oil palm, the availability of promoters to target the expression of genes carrying the desired trait for the production of 'new' products to the desired tissue is essential. In the present invention, a mesocarp-specific promoter designated MSP2 was isolated from oil palm. The MSP2 promoter is functional and showed mesocarp-specific activity based on the GUS expression detected only on the bombarded mesocarp slices especially in the vascular bundles and not on bombarded leaf tissue. The MSP2 promoter could direct expression of foreign genes to the mesocarp tissue of plants hence, can potentially be used for genetic modification in oil palm for the focus products in the mesocarp.
