Abstract excerpt
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...
