The gibberellin‐inducible rice α‐amylase gene, RAmy1A , was demonstrated to be sugar repressed in rice embryos and functional dissection of the promoter of RAmy1A in relation of its sugar‐modulated expression was performed. Gibberellin‐response cis ‐elements of GARE (TAACAAA) and pyrimidine box (CCTTTT) were partially involved in the sugar repression.
