L. aPromoters used in genetic transformation of plants.h[electronic resource] c2015 aThe promoter is a DNA sequence that regulates the expression of a particular gene. Knowledge of the promoters used in gene constructs for genetic transformation is essential for successfully applying GM technology. Promoters can be classified as constitutive, inducible and organ/tissue specific. The use of inducible and organ/tissue promoters has gained importance, because of its extensive applicability. This review presents a summary of the different types of promoters with examples of some of them that have been identified and characterized for genetic transformation of various plant species. aBiotechnology aPromoter regions aTissues aBiotecnologia aInducible promoters aSpecific promoters1 aDEGENHARDT-GOLDBACH, J.1 aGERHARDT, I.
