Research progress on inducible promoters of pepper in response to stresses
Drought,waterlogging,extreme temperature,pests and diseases seriously affect the growth of pepper,leading to poor development and reduced yield.Promoters contain important cis-acting elements and play crucial roles in regulat-ing the expression of target genes.Plant inducible promoters can stimulate stress resistance regulatory mechanisms and ac-tivate the expression of target genes under stress conditions,which alter plant metabolic components and physiologi-cal-biochemical reactions,and enhance plant stress resistance.In this paper,the authors mainly review the types,func-tions,and interactions with trans-acting factors of inducible promoters in response to abiotic and biotic stresses,such as drought,high temperature,low temperature,salt in pepper,in order to provide a theoretical basis for further research on in-ducible promoters of pepper genes and stress-tolerant cultivar improvement.
