Additional Information
The OsU3 promoter is a highly efficient RNA Polymerase III promoter derived from rice (Oryza sativa) that directs constitutive transcription of small non-coding RNAs. It is widely used in plant biotechnology to drive the expression of single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. The promoter is characterized by strong constitutive activity, high transcriptional efficiency, and precise transcription initiation, making it particularly effective for targeted genome editing in rice and other monocot species.
