“…The application of plant biotechnology techniques has revolutionized the field of plant science and greatly contributed to the progress of crop improvement and modern agriculture (Moose and Mumm 2008; Hahne et al, 2011). The demands of an expanding global population and an expectation of higher living standards are two main forces driving the widespread implementation of innovative agro-biotechnology concepts and techniques.…”

Advances in plant biotechnology provide various means to improve crop productivity and greatly contributing to sustainable agriculture. A significant advance in plant biotechnology has been the availability of novel synthetic promoters for precise spatial and temporal control of transgene expression. In this article, we review the development of various synthetic promotors and the rise of their use over the last several decades for regulating the transcription of various transgenes. Similarly, we provided a brief description of the structure and scope of synthetic promoters and the engineering of their cis-regulatory elements for different targets. Moreover, the functional characteristics of different synthetic promoters, their modes of regulating the expression of candidate genes in response to different conditions, and the resulting plant trait improvements reported in the past decade are discussed.
