Gene engineering provides an opportunity to obtain plants with either silenced or overexpressed target genes. This approach is frequently used to study various aspects of the biochemistry, physiology, and stress tolerance of horticultural plants. Selection of appropriate promoters to govern transcription of a transgenic construct is an important step in the development of effi cient genetic models. Here we present a brief overview of available literature data on the promoters investigated with the transgenic horticultural plants and some valuable information resources in this fi led.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
