Combined Effects of Multiple cis-Acting Elements in Elicitor-Mediated Activation of PSCHS1 Gene

Promoter of a gene encoding chalcone synthase 1 (PSCHS1), a member of the defense-related genes in pea, was analyzed by transient transfection assay. The results demonstrated that in addition to the previously identified AT-rich sequences, at least four distinct m-acting elements were required for maximal fungal elicitor-mediated activation of PSCHS1.
