<h4>Background</h4>The development of drought-tolerant, elite varieties of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a challenging task, which might be achieved by introducing transgenic lines into breeding. We previously demonstrated that strains of the White Lady potato cultivar that express the yeast trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS1) gene exhibit improved drought tolerance.<h4>Results</h4>We investigated the responses of the drought-sensitive potato cultivar White Lady and the drought-tolerant TPS ...[more]
