Arabidopsis Response to Drought Conditions Study

Investigate how atypical watering affects Arabidopsis stems length. Results show no negative impact, plants thriving in less water. Experiment modifications suggested for further studies.

Presentation Transcript

  1. The Effect of Drought on the Arabidopsis

  2. Hypothesis • Atypical watering conditions, similar to real life drought conditions, will have a negative effect on the length of the stems.

  3. Measuring • Measuring stick was used to measure length • Measuring was done once a week • Stem length was measured

  4. Graph

  5. Results • The arabidopsis plants were not negatively affected by the drought conditions • The arabidopsis plants thrived in less water conditions

  6. Interpretation • Arabdopsis can survive in diverse water conditions

  7. Comparing Results • The results of this experiment do not support the original hypothesis • Atypical watering conditions, similar to real life drought conditions, will have a negative effect on the length of the stems.

  8. Modifications • The experiment should be carried out for longer than two weeks • Drought plants should be planted in less saturated soil • String method should be employed to measure the length of irregular shaped stems • Have a standard watering measurement for drought and water plants
