The Effect of Drought on the Arabidopsis

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

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

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

Interpretation Arabdopsis can survive in diverse water conditions

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.

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
