Abstract
The present invention relates to the development of drought-resistant plants. This invention is directed to the preparation of transgenic plants that express a protein involved in cytokinin synthesis under the control of a senescence-inducible promoter. More specifically, this invention relates to the preparation of transgenic plants that express an isopentenyl transferase under the control of a senescence-associated receptor kinase (SARK) promoter.
