Sentence examples for markers of drought from inspiring English sources

This study was carried out to identify candidate drought-tolerance genes and expression-based markers of drought stress in cassava.

They can therefore be used as expression-based markers of drought stress and subjected to further study in the context of drought tolerance of MH96/0686 compared with susceptibility of Nyalanda.

The drought-responsive genes can now be used as expression-based markers of drought stress tolerance in cassava, and the candidate tolerance genes tested in the context of breeding (as possible quantitative trait loci) and engineering drought tolerance in transgenics.

The candidate drought tolerance genes in cassava identified in this study can be used as expression-based markers of drought tolerance in cassava or be tested in the context of breeding and engineering drought tolerance in transgenics.

Further studies using different genotypes and a large sample size may give insight into whether the two genes are associated with drought tolerance in cassava; however, this study establishes them as expression-based markers of drought stress in cassava that may be useful across a range of genotypes.

Differences in gene expression can serve as expression-based markers for drought stress, and contribute to the drought tolerance of MH96/0686 and of cassava in general.

In further studies, the exact relations between tolerance isozyme differences need to be defined and their availability should be evaluated as potential biochemical markers for drought tolerance studies in breeding programs of these tomato varieties.

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

Some of these proteins may contribute a physiological advantage under conditions of drought, making them potential targets for marker-assisted selection for drought tolerance.

This study provides a general characterization of drought responses in cassava, yielding expression-based markers and candidate drought-tolerance genes for ongoing cassava improvement efforts.

Given the difficulties associated with cassava breeding, a molecular understanding of drought tolerance in cassava will help in the identification of markers for use in marker-assisted selection and genes for transgenic improvement of drought tolerance.
