Abstract Expression of alpha-amylase genes during seedling development plays a key role
in production of sugar from the starch stored in the cereal seed. Rice alpha-
amylase Amy3D promoter/GUS constructs in transgenic rice cell lines were studied
to identify cis elements in the promoter of this metabolite-regulated gene.
Three sequences having the greatest effects on Amy3D gene expression included
the amylase element (TATCCAT), the CGACG element, and a G box-related element
(CTACGTGGCCA). These promoter cis elements are needed for high-level expression
of Amy3D under conditions of sugar starvation. The involvement of G box cis-
elements in environmental stress responses suggest a link between the nutrient
stress and the environmental stress responses of the plant.
