remarkable abiotic stress tolerance. It contributed to the understanding of stress tolerance
not only at the physiological level but also at the genetic level. In the present study, we
functionally cloned and characterized three abiotic stress-inducible promoters namely
cytoplasmic Apx1 (Ascorbate peroxidase), Dhn (Dehydrin), and Hsc70 (Heat shock cognate)
from pearl millet. Sequence analysis revealed that all three promoters have several cis …
