Publication number: 20040123347Abstract: The current invention provides the water-deficit-inducible promoters derived from the 5′ regulatory region of a HVA22, HSP17.5, RAB17 or CA4H genes. Such water-deficit-inducible promoters are operably linked to heterologous DNA of a gene of interest in a DNA construct which can be used for producing transgenic plants which can express a gene of interest under water-deficit induced conditions. The invention provides transgenic plants having such DNA constructs incorporated into their genome.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2003Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventors: Brendan S. Hinchey, Robert J. Bensen, Donald E. Nelson
