    Abstract The need to develop and improve sustainable energy resources is of eminent importance due to the finite nature of our fossil fuels. This review paper deals with a third generation renewable energy resource which does not compete with our food resources, cyanobacteria. We discuss the current state of the art in developing different types of bioenergy (ethanol, biodiesel, hydrogen, etc.) from cyanobacteria. The major important biochemical pathways in cyanobacteria are highlighted, and the possibility to influence these pathways to improve the production of specific types of energy forms the major part of this review.

    Abstract Expression of the tobacco PR‐1a gene is induced by treatment of plants with salicylate or infection with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Cis‐acting sequences involved in regulation of the PR‐1a gene by salicylate and TMV were identified by investigating fusion constructs of PR‐1a upstream sequences with a heterologous minimal promoter and the GUS reporter gene in transformed tobacco plants. The PR‐1a promoter was found to contain a number of interacting elements which function in a context‐dependent way. A minimum of four regulatory elements was identified, located between nucleotides ‐902 to ‐691 (element 1), ‐689 to ‐643 (element 2), ‐643 to ‐287 (element 3) and ‐287 to +29 (element 4). Alone, these elements have no promoter activity and they are all four required for maximum induction of the reporter gene by salicylate or TMV. The PR‐1a promoter is positively regulated by elements 1, 2, and 3; constructs containing two of these three elements had about half of the maximum activity. Replacement of the minimal heterologous promoter by element 4 differentially affected the activity of these various constructs, suggesting that this element may be important for a correct spacing between elements 1 to 3 and the transcription start site. The observation that all PR‐1a promoter constructs respond similarly to salicylate treatment and TMV infection supports a role of salicylate in the signal transduction pathway leading to PR‐1a gene expression.
