We have conducted a case study using promoters of genes known to be strongly induced by the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) in the model plant Physcomitrella patens, a moss. Putative cis-regulatory elements were detected using three de novo motif detection tools in a strict consensus approach. We show that the consensus approach for motif detection using co-regulation information can be used to identify genes that are regulated under a given stimulus.
