For the pea and maize genes, the upstream sequences of genomic clones have been examined (Evans et al., 1990 de Framond, 1991). In maize, no sequence matching the consensus MRE of animal MT genes was found, whereas in pea a related sequence was found between -241 and -248 upstream of the transcription start site. As yet, there is no evidence that this element is active.
