  • Title: Delay of leaf senescence in Medicago sativa transformed with the ipt gene controlled by the senescence-specific promoter SAG12.
    Author: Calderini O, Bovone T, Scotti C, Pupilli F, Piano E, Arcioni S.
    Journal: Plant Cell Rep; 2007 May; 26(5):611-5. PubMed ID: 17149639.
    Abstract:
    We report the successfull delay of leaf senescence in Medicago sativa. A highly regenerable clone of alfalfa was transformed with the construct SAG12-IPT, an approach that has already proved efficient in other crops. Several independent transformants were obtained as determined by Southern analysis and all the transformants expressed the transgene as measured by RT-PCR. In vitro and in vivo analyses showed that SAG12-IPT plants exhibited a stay-green phenotype that has the potential to greatly improve the quantity and quality of alfalfa forage.
