Pathogen- or Elicitor-Inducible Transcription Regulatory Element from the Tobacco 5-EPI-Aristolochene Synthase Gene and Plants Transformed Therewith

Abstract

A tobacco epi-5-aristolochene synthase transcriptional regulatory element functional in plants, plant tissue and in plant cells for pathogen inducible gene expression and a method for increasing the transcriptional expression of downstream genetic information in plants, plant tissue and plant cells are disclosed
