Water deficit stress tolerance in maize conferred by expression of an anisopentenyltransferase (IPT) gene driven by a stress- and maturation-induced promoter

Senescence can be delayed in transgenic plants overexpressing the enzyme isopentenyltransferase (IPT) due to stress-induced increased levels of endogenous cytokinins. This trait leads to sustained photo-synthetic activity and improved tolerance to abiotic stress. The aim of this study was to generat...
