Proteins are made of either single domain or multiple domains. Domains can be classified into more than 800 groups but by simple classification can be done into 4 classes. Each domain is combination of motifs / super secondary structures. Like domains, many super secondary structures can exists independently in solution. They can act as nucleation in protein folding.

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.
