Abstract excerpt
Pathogenesis-related proteins of group 1 (PR-1) are strongly induced in plants by pathogen attack, exposure of the plants to (acetyl)salicylic acid (ASA, SA), and by developmental cues. Functional analysis of the PR-1a promoter identified a region of 139 bp (from -691 to -553) mediating expression of the GUS reporter gene in response to ASA. Inspection of this region revealed two TGACG elements reminiscent of...
