Identification and characterization of a new soybean promoter induced by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the causal agent of Asian soybean rust

Abstract Background Phakopsora pachyrhizi is a biotrophic fungal pathogen responsible for the Asian soybean rust disease causing important yield losses in tropical and subtropical soybean-producing countries.P.pachyrhizi triggers important transcriptional changes in soybean plants during infection, with several hundreds of genes being either up- or
