A few candidate lesion mimic mutant(LMM) genes had been isolated from rice. Among them, Os SPL7, Os SPL11 and Os SPL28 encode different functional proteins, respectively. There are multiple cis-acting elements in promoter sequences of these three LMM genes in response to various stresses and hormone signaling.The expression patterns analyses using real time PCR showed that these LMM genes had no tissue specialty in expression. However, they exhibited different expression characterizations under low temperature, salt, drought,ABA, ACC, JA and SA treatments. For examples, the expression of Os SP...
