“…The promoter sequence of OsQHB contains many putative hormone- and stress-response cis- elements, such as ABRE element (4 hits), AuxRR core (2 hits), P-box (1 hit), G-box (6 hits), and MYB recognition site (1 hit) ( Figure 4A ). ABRE element is associated with ABA response ( Nakashima and Yamaguchi-Shinozaki, 2013 ), G-box and MYB recognition site with drought response ( Ezer et al, 2017 ), AuxRR core with auxin response, and P-box with gibberellin response ( Sakai et al, 1996 ; Hwang et al, 2010 ; Wang Y. et al, 2011 ; Ambawat et al, 2013 ; Wei et al, 2013 ; Zhang et al, 2020 ; Dutta et al, 2021 ). These elements are contained in the promoter of OsQHB suggests that OsQHB might be involved in modulating hormone response and stress tolerance.…”
