Isolation and characterization of drought and ABA responsive promoter of a transcription factor encoding gene from rice.

ABSTRACT: Water deficit is a significant impediment to enhancing rice yield. Genetic engineering tools have enabled agriculture researchers to develop drought-tolerant cultivars of rice. A common strategy to achieve this involves expressing drought-tolerant genes driven by constitutive promoters such as CaMV35S. However, the use of constitutive promoters is often limited by the adverse effects it has on the growth and development of the plant. Additionally, it has been observed that monocot-derived promoters are more successful in driving gene expression in monocots than in dicots. Substitution of constitutive promoters with stress-inducible promoters is the currently used strategy to overcome this limitation. In the present study, a 1514 bp AP2/ERF promoter that drives the expression of a tr
