The yield difference between wild-type cotton and transgenic cotton that expresses IPT depends on when water-deficit stress is applied

Abstract: Drought is the No. 1 factor that limits agricultural production in the world, thus, making crops more drought tolerant is a major goal in agriculture. Many genes with functions in abiotic stress tolerance were identified, and overexpression of these genes confers increased drought tolerance in transgenic plants. The isopentenyltransferase gene (IPT) that encodes a rate limiting enzyme in cytokinin biosynthesis is one of them. Interestingly, when IPT-transgenic cotton was field-tested at two different sites, Te… Show more

“…Overexpression of the Arabidopsis AtEDT1/HDG11 (enhanced drought tolerance 1/homeodomain glabrous 11) gene resulted in enhanced proline content, more dynamic ROS scavenging activity, an extensive rooting system, and improved drought tolerance in cotton [145]. Another study highlighted the performance of transgenic cotton carrying the IPT gene, as it has better drought tolerance, in the event of stress prior to flowering stage [146]. Ectopic endogenous and exogenous overexpression of two abiotic stress-responsive TF orthologs (bZIP AREB/ABF) from Gossypium hirsutum, GhABF2D and Arabidopsis AtABF3 were studied.…”

“…As drought responses of CK metabolic genes vary by tissue types and the exposure time, future functional studies should provide a full inventory of CK metabolic genes, in relation to tissue-specific and spatially inducible expression, to reveal any additional roles of these genes in plant drought tolerance. In fact, there have been several studies demonstrating improved yield under drought conditions by modulating CK homeostasis, either via CK biosynthetic IPT GFMs [38,79] or CK degradation CKX GFMs [80].…”

“…It is well known that unintended effects in GE plants can be triggered by changing environmental conditions or biotic and abiotic stressors [30,[58][59][60][61][62][63]. There are several reasons why GE plants show unexpected effects in their interaction with the environment.…”
