Journal ArticleDOI
The 5'-region of Arabidopsis thaliana cor15a has cis-acting elements that confer cold-, drought- and ABA-regulated gene expression.
TL;DR: Histochemical staining experiments and gene fusion experiments indicated that the 5′ region of cor15a between nucleotides −305 and +78 (relative to the start of transcription) contains a cis-acting element(s) that can impart cold-regulated gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabidopsis thaliana cor15b , an apparent homologue of cor15a , is strongly responsive to cold and ABA, but not drought
TL;DR: The cor15a/cor15b gene pair is the third case in which A. thaliana cold-regulated genes have been found to exist as tandem gene pairs with the members of each pair being differentially regulated.

TL;DR: Gene fusion experiments established that COR15a has a functional DRE (drought-regulatory-element) that imparts cold- and drought-regulated gene expression in tobacco that enhances the freezing tolerance of chloroplasts in non-acclimated plants by nearly one-third of the increase that occurs upon cold acclimation of both transgenic and wild type plants.
