PSARK::IPT transgenic cotton plants produced more root and shoot biomass, dropped fewer flowers, maintained higher chlorophyll content, and higher photosynthetic rates under reduced irrigation conditions in comparison to wild-type and segregated non-transgenic lines. 

Furthermore, PSARK::IPT-transgenic cotton plants grown in growth chamber condition also displayed greater drought tolerance.  These results indicate that water-deficit induced expression of an isopentenyltransferase gene in cotton could significantly improve drought tolerance.

As a chromosome with a new gene duplicate spreads through a population, there is polymorphism in the number of copies of the gene that individuals carry. This situation, called copy number variation.
