1. An expression cassette comprising a promoter operably linked to a heterologous nucleic acid molecule comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs;
17-37;
(b) a nucleotide sequence that is at least 80% identical to the nucleotide sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs;
17-37;
(c) a nucleotide sequence that encodes a polypeptide, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide comprises any one of SEQ ID NOs;
1-16;
(d) a nucleotide sequence that encodes a polypeptide, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide is at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs;
1-16;
(e) a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of any one of (a) to (d) above.
