Figure 2

Co-conservation of two ABA-response elements in LEA promoters. The alignment of two rice upstream sequences with their respective sorghum syntenic partners is shown. Pairs are marked as light blue and yellow frames. The rice genes Os01g0705200 and Os05g0542500 have been annotated as late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins. Two known ABA response elements, ABRE and CE3 (dark blue frames), are highly conserved in position and inter-motif distance between all four promoters. Functionality of a similar motif arrangement has been reported for other ABA responsive rice genes [34]. Additional motifs that are conserved between a rice-sorghum pair but not in all four promoters are shown as red frames and may indicate different responses between the pairs. Gray frames, pink and light green fragment depict potential TATA box, annotated transcript and annotated coding region, respectively.
