AbstractAs an important part of synthetic biology, synthetic promoter has gradually become a hotspot in current biology. Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world and a model plant for functional genomic research in cereals. The purpose of the present study was to design and construct tissue-specific synthetic promoters in rice. We selected several tissue-specific cis-elements based on previous reports and assembled them in different patterns. The combinations were respectively fused to Mini 35S promoter. GUS assays of the transgenic plants indicated that our work successfully created tissue-specific synthetic promoter with the above approach and also revealed that the assembly patterns of cis-elements are critical for the expression patterns and expression efficiencies of synthetic promoters. Our study provides useful information and a practical basis for the design ideas and construction approaches of synthetic promoters in plants.

4 结论利用顺式调控元件连接核心启动子的方式构建出种子不表达的组织特异型合成启动子, 并推测出合成启动子中顺式调控元件的组合规律: 单拷贝顺式元件串联后以组合的形式重复多次的设计方式有利于正调控顺式元件发挥功能; 而顺式元件以多拷贝形式组合的设计方式则有利于负调控顺式元件发挥功能。该结果表明, 控制启动子的表达活性和表达模式的因素不仅来自于顺式调控元件自身的功能, 更重要的是顺式元件之间的位置关系和相互作用。 The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
