STRESS-INDUCED PROMOTER AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME

摘要

A stress-induced promoter efficaciously acting in monocotyledons such as rice; and an environmental stress-tolerant plant using the promoter. Namely, a rice-origin promoter comprising the following DNA (a) or (b): (a) a DNA consisting of a base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:10; (b) a DNA hybridizable with a DNA consisting of a base sequence complementary to a base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:10 under stringent conditions and having a stress-induced promoter activity; and an environmental stress-tolerant plant having the above- described promoter transferred thereinto.
