Seed-specific activity of the Arabidopsis β-glucosidase 19 promoter in transgenic Arabidopsis and tobacco

Histochemical and fluorometric GUS analyses of transgenic Arabidopsis plants revealed that the AtBGLU19 promoter directed strong GUS activity in late-maturing seeds and dry seeds, whereas no GUS expression was observed in other organs.

Wsi18 promoter from wild rice genotype, Oryza nivara, shows enhanced expression under soil water stress in contrast to elite cultivar, IR20

The Wsi18 promoter element from the wild rice genotype can be used in future genetic manipulation strategies for the generation of SWS tolerant rice cultivars with improved yield characteristics.

The root-specific NtR12 promoter-based expression of RIP increased the resistance against bacterial wilt disease in tobacco

This study confirms that the RIP gene confers resistance to BWD and the NtR12 as a new promoter for its specific expression in root and stem, paving a novel avenue for transgenic engineering to prevent the harmful impact of diseases and pests in roots and stems.

Enhanced Gene Expression Rather than Natural Polymorphism in Coding Sequence of the OsbZIP23 Determines Drought Tolerance and Yield Improvement in Rice Genotypes

It is concluded that the enhanced gene expression rather than natural polymorphism in coding sequence of OsbZIP23 is accountable for improved drought tolerance and yield performance in rice genotypes.

Increase in alpha-linolenic acid content by simultaneous expression of fatty acid metabolism genes in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

This gene combination can be co-expressed in sesame and other plant systems to increase the lipid accumulation with high omega-3 fatty acid (ALA) content.

Overexpression of PvFAD3 Gene from Plukenetia volubilis Promotes the Biosynthesis of α-Linolenic Acid in Transgenic Tobacco Seeds

The homologous cloning was used to obtain the full-length sequence of the PvFAD3 gene of Plukenetia volubilis, and it was confirmed as a key enzyme gene for α-linolenic acid synthesis; thus, indicating that the Pv fad3 gene can be used for fatty acid fraction improvement in oilseed plants.

Novel synthetic inducible promoters controlling gene expression during water‐deficit stress with green tissue specificity in transgenic poplar

Two new synthetic promoters are added to the poplar engineering toolkit: Syn3‐10b‐1, a green tissue‐specific and water‐deficit stress‐induced promoter, and Syn3, a green tissue‐preferential constitutive promoter.

Seed-specific expression of sesame microsomal oleic acid desaturase is controlled by combinatorial properties between negative cis-regulatory elements in the SeFAD2 promoter and enhancers in the 5′-UTR intron

Observations indicate that an intron-mediated regulatory mechanism is involved in controlling not only the seed-specific expression of the SeFAD2 gene but also the expression of plant FAD2 genes, which are essential for the synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
