Sentence examples for a water deficit from inspiring English sources

The analysis of gene transcript abundance after 14 days of treatment identified that the transcripts for several genes that have been associated with the adaptation to freezing temperatures in alfalfa increased in abundance relative to the fully watered controls when exposed to a water deficit.

Of the eight gene transcripts investigated, five (galactinol synthase: corF; cold acclimation responsive protein: CAR1/ cold5; cold acclimation-specific protein: cas18; cold- and drought-regulated protein: corA; and the vegetative storage protein: VSP) increased in abundance relative to the fully watered controls when plants were exposed to a water deficit for both 14 and 35 days (Fig.  9).

At 35 days of treatment, the plants exposed to a water deficit had a lower shoot yield compared with the fully watered controls for all cultivars, and the same effect was observed when cultivars were grouped based on fall dormancy group.

The large amount of litterfall from well-watered trees was most likely the result of tree size rather than a water deficit response.

Fall dormant cultivars had greater shoot growth relative to the fully watered controls under a mild water deficit (a cumulative water deficit of 625 mL pot−1) and did not close their stomata until lower shoot water potentials compared with the more non-fall dormant cultivars.
