Abstract/Contents:Presents research that "indicated that root-produced cytokinins regulate leaf senescence and lateral shoot and root formation, especially at high soil temperatures." Explains that "research in non-turfgrass species has proven that expression of the ipt gene in plants increased the cytokinin content and successfully improved stress tolerance (heat and salinity) by increasing chlorophyll content, delaying leaf senescence, and stimulating lateral branching and root production." States that researchers' "objective is to develop heat tolerant creeping bentgrass by introducing the ipt with a specific set of promoters so that growth and chlorophyll synthesis are maintained constitutively, or are triggered by high temperatures or the onset of leaf senescence."
