Differentially Expressed Genes Associated with Improved Drought Tolerance in Creeping Bentgrass Overexpressing a Gene for Cytokinin Biosynthesis.

Transformation with an isopentenyl transferase (ipt) gene controlling cytokinin (CK) synthesis has been shown to enhance plant drought tolerance. The objective of this study was to identify differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) overexpressing ipt compared...
