✦ Synopsis
The fine-structure analyses of the nopaline synthase (nos) promoter which is active constitutively in a wide range of plant tissues reveal that a portion of the upstream essential region for maximal transcription is a potential Z-DNAforming element. Z-DNA sequences are found in almost all plant-promoter regions, suggesting that these structural elements may play important roles in plant gene expression.
