Advances in plant biotechnology provide various means to improve crop productivity and
greatly contributing to sustainable agriculture. A significant advance in plant biotechnology …

To improve future agricultural production, major technological advances are required to
increase crop production and yield. Targeting the coding region of genes via the Clustered …

Main conclusion This paper reviews the importance, prospective and development of
synthetic promoters reported in planta. A review of the synthetic promoters developed in …

Coordinated transcriptional control employing synthetic promoters and transcription factors
(TFs) can be used to achieve customized regulation of gene expression in planta. Synthetic …

Native/endogenous promoters have several fundamental limitations in terms of their size,
Cis-elements distribution/patterning, and mode of induction, which is ultimately reflected in …

Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is among the most
devastating diseases in Brassica napus worldwide. Conventional breeding for SSR …

Following an in-depth transcriptomics-based approach, we first screened out and analyzed
(in silico) cis motifs in a group of 63 drought-inducible genes (in soybean). Six novel …

Drought stress hinders plant growth and development, and abscisic acid (ABA) stimulates
plants to respond to drought. Here, to increase plant tolerance to drought, we designed three …

Promoters are upstream gene regulatory sequences recognized by transcription factors
(TFs) involved in controlling transcription initiation and progression. For modern crop …

In the present study, we have developed an inter-molecularly shuffled caulimoviral promoter
for protein over-expression by placing the Upstream Activation Sequence (UAS) of Figwort …
