Identification of a 467 bp promoter of maize phosphatidylinositol synthase gene (ZmPIS) which confers high–level gene expression and salinity or osmotic stress inducibility in transgenic tobacco

Salinity and drought often affect plant growth and crop yields. Cloning and identification of salinity and drought stress inducible promoters is of great significance for their use in the genetic improvement of crop resistance. Previous studies showed that phosphatidylinositol synthase (PIS) is invo...
