Expression analysis revealed that OsNRT1 . 3 , a putative nitrate transporter gene in rice , was induced by drought .
To confirm if the OsNRT1 . 3 promoter can respond to drought stress , a 2019 bp upstream sequence of OsNRT1 . 3 was cloned .
Three OsNRT1 . 3 promoter fragments were generated by 5-deletion , and fused to the beta-glucuronidase ( GUS ) gene .
The chimeric genes were introduced into rice plants .
NRT2019 : : GUS , NRT1196 : : GUS and NRT719 : : GUS showed similar expression patterns in seeds , roots , leaves and flowers in all transgenic rice , and GUS activity conferred by different OsNRT1 . 3 promoter fragments was significantly upregulated by drought stress , indicating that OsNRT1 . 3 promoter responds to drought stress and the 719 bp upstream sequence of OsNRT1 . 3 contains the drought response elements . | Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 6, subscore: 1.00 ]: NRT2019 : : GUS , NRT1196 : : GUS and NRT719 : : GUS showed similar expression patterns in seeds , roots , leaves and flowers in all transgenic rice , and GUS activity conferred by different OsNRT1 . 3 promoter fragments was significantly upregulated by drought stress , indicating that OsNRT1 . 3 promoter responds to drought stress and the 719 bp upstream sequence of OsNRT1 . 3 contains the drought response elements .
