Research Methods of cis-Acting Elements in Plant Abiotic Stress Inducible Promoters

Abiotic stress seriously affects plant growth and development,reduces crop yields.Plants endure or resist abiotic stress via many ways,mainly by expressing abiotic stress-induced genes.Gene expression is regulated by upstream promoter and transcription factors.Abiotic stress-induced promoter cis-acting element and transcription factors become one focus of study now.This paper reviews the research methods of plant abiotic stress inducible promoter cis-acting elements and transcription factors and looks into their prospect.
