Sentence examples for maintenance under drought from inspiring English sources

LDIMc was significantly and positively correlated with biomass maintenance under drought (Table 3).

Their relevance as markers of growth maintenance under drought needs to be further explored.

Accordingly, NSC are intrinsically related to early vigour and its maintenance under drought.

Consequently, although leaf number and size were constitutively opposed traits (under well watered conditions), their maintenance under drought was positively correlated.

Accordingly, genotypes were grouped in three clusters differing in constitutive vigour, starch storage and growth maintenance under drought showing a trade off between constitutive vigour and drought tolerance.

This allowed exploring associations among several phenotypic traits that act as component traits for early vigour (here considered as shoot biomass accumulation during exponential growth) and its maintenance under drought (drought tolerance).

Given the role that sucrose synthase plays in utilizing the glucose released from starch degradation, the downregulation of this gene in the fall dormant cultivars could be a consequence of a long-term energy maintenance strategy under drought conditions in these cultivars.

The preferential expression of the nitrate transporter in Vagad may help in the cellular homeostatic maintenance of plants under drought stress.

In addition, other strategies such as osmotic adjustment, maintenance of root viability, membrane stability, and accumulation of proteins and other metabolites including proline, glycine betaine, and trehalose help, directly or indirectly, in the maintenance of plant metabolism under drought stress (Huang et al. 2014; Cohen et al. 2015; Ngumbi and Kloepper 2016).

By contrast, in the present study, both traits were sensitive to drought and their degree of sensitivity varied among genotypic groups (Table 6); in addition the maintenance of leaf number and size under drought were positively related whereas the inverse was observed under well-watered conditions (Table 2).

Since stress reduces the rate of photosynthesis maintenance of a constant sucrose level under drought stress conditions may require the plants to reduce starch synthesis and channel the carbohydrates to sucrose synthesis.
