Transgenic tall fescue containing the Agrobacterium tumefaciens ipt gene shows enhanced cold tolerance

Yuanlei Hu et al. Plant Cell Rep. 2005 Mar.

Abstract

Embryogenic calli of Festuca arundinacea were transformed with the Agrobacterium tumefaciens isopentenyl transferase (ipt) gene driven by a maize ubiquitin promoter. Tillering ability, levels of chlorophyll a and b, and cold tolerance were greatly increased in the transgenic turfgrass, which resulted in the plants remaining more vigorous and staying green longer under lower temperatures.
