In silico analysis of motifs in promoters of differentially expressed genes in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under anoxia.

The aim of this study was to characterise the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) in rice coleoptiles under anoxia by identifying motifs that are common in the promoter region of co-regulated genes. Un-changed DEGs (<2 fold and >-2), up-regulated DEGs (>or=2 fold) and down-regulated DEGs (
