STRESS RESPONSIVE EXPRESSION

摘要

The present invention relates to the identification of transcriptional control sequences that are active in plants in response to stress. Accordingly, methods for effecting stress responsive expression of a nucleotide sequence of interest in a plant are provided, the methods including expressing the nucleotide sequence of interest operably connected to a transcriptional control sequence which is stress inducible in the plant, wherein the nucleotide sequence of interest is heterologous with respect to the transcriptional control sequence. Also provided are nucleic acid constructs including the stress inducible transcriptional control sequences, genetically modified cells including the nucleic acid constructs, and multicellular structures including one or more of the genetically modified cells.
