Sentence examples for deficit tolerance from inspiring English sources

Some of these traits have already been integrated into breeding programs, e.g. to increase water deficit tolerance by increasing deep rooting (Shen et al. [2007]).

However, after 35 days of exposure to water deficit there was no pattern in gene transcript abundance that was related to fall dormancy and consequently water deficit tolerance.

Multiple PLDs, including PLDα1, α3, δ and ε, are required for salt and water deficit tolerance in Arabidopsis, possibly by regulating PA production and membrane lipid compositions [ 55, 56].

With respect to the underlying mechanism of BiP-mediated increases in water deficit tolerance that provided the foundation for pursuing these studies, the results of the microarray analysis highlighted relevant insights.

The identification of a partial separation between fall dormancy and freezing tolerance by Brouwer et al. (2000) and Brummer et al. (2000) along with the linkage between freezing tolerance and water deficit tolerance at a molecular level identified in this study suggests that it will be possible to achieve greater drought tolerance in non-fall dormant cultivars.

N22 is highly heat tolerant (Yoshida et al. 1981; Prasad et al. 2006; Jagadish et al. 2008, 2010) and its additional water-deficit tolerance seen in our study and in Selote and Chopra (2004) makes it an ideal candidate for further physiological and molecular approaches to develop multiple abiotic stress-tolerant rice mega-varieties.

Targeted EST development has already begun in chickpea, focusing on ABA-related mechanisms of water-deficit tolerance in epicotyl tissue [ 32].

The G. hirsutum cultivar Siokra L-23 was used for this analysis since it was previously selected for enhanced water-deficit tolerance [ 61].

Water deficit is a major threatening factor to embryos, and a water-deficit tolerance system in plants was reported, including membrane proteins, chaperones (mainly HSPs and LEAs), water channel proteins, protease inhibitors, proteases, and the ubiqutin system [ 17].

We identified a large number of genes that are in the category of anti-stress via various mechanisms, which include a complete water-deficit tolerance system and genes involved in resistance in oxidation damage and fungal pathogen infection (Table 6 and Table 10).

Taking the water-deficit-tolerance related genes as examples, we know that protective genes, including chaperones (mainly LEAs and HSPs), protease inhibitors, water-deficit induced membrane proteins, and water channel proteins, are counterparts of the protein-degrading mechanism, promoting survivability under water-deficit conditions.
