We thank Dr. K. Suzuki for his helpful discussions of our work and Dr. Y. Ohashi and Dr. S. Kosugi for searching the recognition sequences of the tobacco EIN3 homolog. This work was supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas (No. 08262211) from the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, Japan (F.S.), and by the NEDO International Joint Research Program (F.S.).

N2 - Three genes of NsERFs (EREBPs), transcription factors for GCC box of basic PR genes, were isolated from Nicotiana sylvestris. Analyses of transgenic tobacco carrying the NsERF promoter::GUS genes showed that expression of all NsERF genes in leaves was induced by ethylene. Sequence analyses indicated that the 5'-upstream region of NsERF3 gene has the GCC box. In contrast, the promoter regions of NsERF2 and 4 have no GCC box, whereas NsERF2 has a putative EIN3 binding site. Tissue/cell specific expression is also discussed.
