The phrase "a decline in transcript" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a decrease or reduction in the quality, quantity, or content of a transcript, such as in academic or professional contexts.
Example: "The recent analysis showed a decline in transcript quality among students over the past few years."
Alternatives: "a decrease in transcript" or "a drop in transcript quality."
Microarray studies of shoot tissues of Vitis vines exposed to water-deficit stress also showed a decline in transcript abundance for cell wall metabolism genes [ 24], and similar processes appear to occur in berries.
Conversely, Klf2 and Tiparp displayed pulse-like rapid upregulation within 1 3 h followed by a decline in transcript level, which in the case of Klf2 reaches baseline; a similar biphasic pattern of expression was observed for Tgfb3, Il15ra and Mt2.
A decline in transcripts associated with transcription was first observed in PBL obtained from endotoxin-challenged subjects [ 3].
Extending the temporal window of the assay, we observed a decline in the transcript abundance of these UPR targets until 48 h (Fig. 1C).
The role of peroxynitrite is supported by the fact that exposing cells to this anion causes a decline in mtRNA transcripts (Ballinger et al., 2000).
The endo/ecodormancy transition (SEP to NOV) was characterized by a further decline in transcripts participating in cellular processes as well as primary and secondary metabolism functional categories, similar to what was observed in the para/endodormancy transition.
Northern blot analysis indicated a decline in the ATP sulfurylase transcript levels during seed development.
Furthermore, Iglesias-Acosta et al. [ 64] reported a decline in PIP1 and PIP2 transcript abundance in the roots of broccoli plants under increasing temperature, while Chen and Arora [ 65] highlighted the role of aquaporins (SoPIP2 1 and SoδTIP) during the recovery of spinach leaves from reversible freeze-thaw injury.
NF-YA also regulates the expression of genes involved in the G1/S transition, and has been previously shown to exhibit a decline in protein levels without a change in transcript level with increasing senescence in IMR90 cells [ 41].
Seed growth from 25 to 30 DAA was characterized by a decline in the abundance of TaSUT2 transcripts.
This is a conclusion drawn on the strong correlation between LEA transcript accumulation and water loss, rapid decline in transcript levels upon rehydration, and especially as LEA gene expression relates to the programmed desiccation stage of seed maturation.
