Functional dissection of a sugar‐repressed α‐amylase gene (RAmy1A) promoter in rice embryos

Abstract
The gibberellin-inducible rice α-amylase gene, RAmy1A, was demonstrated to be sugar repressed in rice embryos and functional dissection of the promoter of RAmy1A in relation of its sugar-modulated expression was performed. Gibberellin-response cis-elements of GARE (TAACAAA) and pyrimidine box (CCTTTT) were partially involved in the sugar repression.
