The invention relates to a regulatory element for the modification of gene expression in transgenic plants, to nucleotide enhancer and repressor sequences derived from non-coding regions of a sucrose transporter gene, and to suitable promoters for use in a regulatory element for the modification of gene expression in transgenic plants. The object of the invention is to provide means for manipulating expression of plant genes, e.g. to control transport, storage, and growth processes in plants. This problem is solved by a regulatory element comprising a promoter and a nucleotide sequence, wherein said nucleotide sequence is a nucleotide enhancer and/or repressor sequence comprising a non-coding region of a sucrose transporter gene.

The invention relates to nucleic acid molecules that code a saccharide transporter, in particular a saccharose transporter, vectors and host cells that contain said nucleic acid molecules, as well as plant cells and plants transformed by the described nucleic acid molecules and vectors. The invention also relates to processes for modifying the transport of saccharide, in particular saccharose, in plants.
