Current release of the database contains the description of 289 promoters corresponding to 158 genes.
The database contains promoters of 26 plant species. Below are the statistics on the plants species used for isolation of the promoters, inducers (repressors), tissues (organs) where the described promoters were active, species of transgenic plants used for promoter investigations.
