Isolation of the 3β-HSD promoter from Digitalis ferruginea subsp. ferruginea and its functional characterization in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract

Although members of the SDR gene family (short chain dehydrogenase) are distributed in kingdom of life, they have diverse roles in stress tolerance mechanism or secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Nevertheless, their precise roles in gene expression or regulation under stress are yet to be understood.
