9. A method for producing a transgenic plant, comprising (a) transforming a plant cell with a DNA construct that comprises (i) the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 332, (ii) an Eucalyptus COMT promoter, and (iii) a desired nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide, wherein SEQ ID NO: 332 encodes a MYB transcription factor that regulates the activity of the promoter, and wherein said promoter and said desired nucleic acid sequence are operably linked; (b) culturing said transformed plant cell under conditions that promote growth of a plant, wherein the MYB transcription factor encoded by SEQ ID NO: 332 and the product of said desired nucleic acid sequence are both expressed in the plant.
