高等植物启动子功能和结构研究进展

Recent advances in the study of function and structure of higher plant promoters

启动子是植物基因工程中一个重要的研究对象,文章简述了启动子的定义、分类和启动子的研究策略。并着重从组成型启动子、组织特异型启动子和诱导型启动子3个方面介绍了它们的功能和结构的研究现状。提出了植物基因工程中启动子研究存在的问题与展望。

As the promoter is an important research object in the plant genetic engineering, the article sketches its definition, classification and research tactics. Meanwhile, the function and structure of the (promoter) are emphasized in respect of constitutive type, organ-specific type and inducible type. This paper concludes by pointing out problems existing in the study of promoters in the field of genetic engineering and by sketching the prospect of the study.
