The bacterial isopentenyl transferase (ipt) gene involved in cytokinin biosynthesis was fused with 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and introduced into tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun) via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. As expected, ipt gene was constitutively expressed in all tissues of transgenic plants. Several primary transgenic plants were obtained that expressed different level of transcripts for ipt gene. Three of transgenic plants with different expression level of ipt gene were selected and selfed to obtain homozygous line for further analysis. A number of interesting phenotypic changes such as viviparous leaves, delayed senescence, larger axillary shoots, an abundance of tiny shoots at the apex and a release of lateral buds, were observed in transgenic plants. Chlorophyll content was 1.5- t.o 4-fold higher in transgenic plants as compared with non-transformed plants. These results indicate that the cytokinin synthesized in transgenic plants could improve forage crop yield by delay of leaf senescence and increase of leaf number.
