英文摘要：

Promoters play an important role in the process of plant gene expression and regulation. The study on the promoter cloning and its functional investigation contributes to understand the signal transduction pathways and gene expression regulation model, and offers theoretical basis for transgenic engineering. This paper reviews the basic structure, types, cloning methods and the function of plant gene promoters, especially inducible promoters and their function analysis applied widely to transgenic engineering. In the end, this paper deals with the future research and development prospects of plant promoters.
