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...
