The Cis-elements and Transcription Factors of Plant Environmental Response Promoters / 中国生物工程杂志

The growth and development of plant is affected by environmental factors that include light,temperature and water. Many cis-elements that are response to these elicitors interact with transcription factors, and regulate the expression of target genes. It concludes by pointing out recent studies of cis-elements and transcription factors in the plant environmental response promoters, such as light, temperature and water inducible promoter. The molecular mechanisms of gene expression regulated by environmental factors was discussed. This is important to study the mechanisms that plant adapt the environment.
