Inducible isopentenyl transferase as a high-efficiency marker for plant transformation.

Overexpression of the isopentenyltransferase gene ( ipt) from the Ti-plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens increases cytokinin levels, leading to generation of shoots from transformed plant cells. When combined with a dexamethasone-inducible system for controlling expression, ipt expression can be used to select for transgenic regenerants without using an antibiotic-resistance marker. The combined system allows efficient cointroduction of multiple genes (in addition to ipt) and produces transgenic plants without morphological or developmental defects.[1]
