Conservation of putative regulatory elements in the promoters of coregulated Arabidopsis genes altered during G. cichoracearum infection

Results of promoter sequence analysis for genes that were induced or repressed in all three infected genotypes (36 and 34 genes, respectively), as well as genes belonging to Groups 3 (17 genes) and 4 (18 genes), showing differences in SA- or JA-dependent responses, respectively.
