| 摘要 |
New pathogen-induced promoters are provided, particularly nematode-induced promoters, which are characterized by their selective induction of expression in the vicinity of the pathogen infection sites, such as the fixed feeding cells induced by infection of the plant by nematodes. Further provided are chimeric genes comprising these promoters as regulatory elements, as well as transgenic plants, comprising those chimeric genes, which are less susceptible to pathogen infections.
