Abstract:
1. A stably transformed transgenic monocot plant comprising a stress-responsive promoter operably linked to a coding region of a stress-resistant gene, wherein the stress-responsive promoter comprises at least two copies of a nucleotide sequence consisting of, from the 5′-end to the 3′-end of the promoter, in the order of: (a) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; (b) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; (c) a nucleotide sequence consisting of 10 nucleotides; and (d) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:3; wherein the stably transformed transgenic monocot plant consistently expresses the stress-resistant gene in response to abscisic acid (ABA) induction in a vegetative tissue and confers enhanced tolerance to one or more abiotic stresses as compared to a control plant of the same monocot plant species lacking said stress-responsive promoter.
