Abstract
Plant breeding and engineering has relied primarily on Mendelian genetics or recombinant techniques. The disclosure relates to novel maize plants, seeds and compositions, as well as improvements to maize plant breeding and methods for creating modifications in maize plant genomes. A transcriptional enhancer element which can increase the expression of both exogenous and endogenous maize genes is disclosed.
