UNASSIGNED: Controlled transgene expression via a promoter is particularly triggered in response to pathogen infiltration. This is significant for eliciting disease-resistant features in crops through genetic engineering. The germins and germin-like proteins (GLPs) are known to be associated with plant and developmental stages. The 1107-bp @entity579 root GLP2 (OsRGLP2) gene promoter fused to a b-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene was transformed into @entity415 plants through an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The OsRGLP2 promoter was activated in response to @entity10437 (Mart.) Sacc. and Alternaria solani Sorauer. Quantitative real-time PCR results revealed 4-5-fold increase in promoter activity every 24  h following infection. There was a 15-fold increase in OsRGLP2 promoter activity after 72  h of @entity10437 (Mart.) Sacc. treatment and a 12-fold increase observed with A. solani Sorauer. Our results confirmed that the OsRGLP2 promoter activity was enhanced under fungal stress. Furthermore, a hyperaccumulation of @entity5568 in transgenic plants is a clear signal for the involvement of OsRGLP2 promoter region in the activation of specific genes in the @entity415 genome involved in @entity5568 -mediated defense response. The OsRGLP2 promoter evidently harbors copies of GT-I and Dof transcription factors (AAAG) that act in response to elicitors generated in the wake of pathogen infection.

Germin-like protein 2 gene promoter from @entity579 is responsive to fungal pathogens in transgenic XXXX plants.
