Oxygen radical scavenger pathways were borderline significant for enrichment of DEGs (empirical p = 0.05).

A P value of ≤0.01 was considered highly significant, while a P value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.

A marginally significant interaction between bacterial manipulation and diet type ( F 8 , 30 = 2.35; p = 0.05) on the antibacterial activity of hemolymph was also observed.

At 17 dpi ( Figure 8B ), Alistipes and unclassified_f_ Ruminococcaceae showed an extremely significant positive correlation with IFN-γ secretion ( P < 0.05), but Eisenbergiella and Norank_f_Clostridiales_vadinbb60_group were negatively correlated with it ( P < 0.05).

Bacterial 16S rRNA gene copy numbers showed a decreasing trend along the succession age ( P < 0.05), which had a significant correlation with TC ( r = 0.717, P < 0.001).

In addition, compared with those in the NC group, the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 exhibited a decreasing trend after the D-GalN injection, which was improved by pretreatment with the B. cereus supplement ( P < 0.05) ( Figure 1B ).

Differences between treated and non-treated control samples were considered not significant ( P ≥ 0.05), marginally significant ( P < 0.05) ∗ , or significant ( P < 0.01) ∗∗ .

Compared with CG treatment, the mortality rate of piglets in AG had a decreasing trend ( P > 0.05), while the diarrhea rate decreased significantly ( P < 0.05).

For example, genes hdrB, MT2, ftr and fmdB/fwdB all showed a decreasing trend, with significantly lower abundance ( P < 0.05) after 122 days of incubation at 8°C in the organic soil.

Pearson correlation analyses showed that soil salt, EC, and BD had a weakly significant negative correlation with Shannon diversity ( p < 0.05).

Kentucky group, and a positive trend is present in the APEC-O2 group ( p > 0.05) ( Figures 2A , B ).

The OD 600 of gfp.repL AT2 and rfp .nc- repL AT2 transformants showed an increasing trend between 2 to 10 hpi, yet the average OD 600 was ~1.3-fold lower when compared to that of uninduced cells between 6 to 10 hpi ( p < 0.05) ( Figure 4J ).

In subalpine, fungal pathogen and AM diversity showed a decreasing trend along increasing elevation ( R 2 : 0.23–0.7, p < 0.05), while ECM diversity showed an hump-shaped pattern ( R 2 : 0.47–0.85, p < 0.05; Supplementary Figure S2C ).

The correlation was highly significant ( p < 0.05) and with Spearman’s rho >0.6 and <−0.6 were considered to be correlated and selected for network analysis.

Statistical difference was, respectively, considered as significant or highly significant at p < 0.05 or p < 0.01, while trend was discussed at 0.05 < p ≤ 0.10.

In the temperate steppe, significant or highly significant differences were observed in soil total P, organic carbon, and fast-acting P contents at different incubation times ( p < 0.05 or p < 0.01).

In 90 days, the average liver weight/body weight ratio of the geese in group W was increased by 21.36% compared with group C, while the liver weight/body weight ratio of group B also showed an increasing trend compared with groups C and F ( P > 0.05) ( Table 2 ).

Co-occurrence network taxa were highly significant network hubs (ρ > 0.7, p < 0.05; Figures 7A,B ).

Based on the study’s results, we found that the abundance of aerobic, anaerobic and parthenogenetic anaerobic bacteria showed an increasing trend at wetland restoration from the corn field (Corn) to the natural wetland (NW) ( Figure 10 ; Supplementary Table S7 , p < 0.05).

Also in root and shoot after treatments, as mentioned in section “Statistical Analysis”, antioxidant enzymes such as PAL (12.1 μmol trans-cinnamic acid min g –1 fresh weight, 22.1 μmol trans-cinnamic acid min g –1 fresh weight), APx (550.2 unit g –1 fresh weight, 1050.16 unit g –1 fresh weight), POx (900.2, 1800.2), H 2 O 2 (2.9 mmol mg –1 protein, 7.1 mmol mg –1 protein) SOD (419.9 unit g –1 fresh weight., 619.8 unit g –1 fresh weight.), CAT (819.9 unit g –1 fresh weight., 1219.8 unit g –1 fresh weight.), and Chitinase (10.2 nKat g –1 , 21.4 nKat g –1 ) were found to be highly significant i.e., P < 0.05 for surfactin as compared to other treatment.

In comparison to the reference population, the distribution of blood groups among all SARS-CoV-2 seropositive individuals was different (marginally significant; p = 0.05) ( Table 2B ).

It is evident from the result that overall, there was a decreasing trend in SA with latitude change of habitat in the dry season ( p < 0.05).

However, in previous studies with apple roots ( Mahnkopp et al., 2018 ), we observed a highly significant Pearson correlation [ r (214) = 0.97, p < 0.05] between root fresh mass and root dry mass.

Compared to the control group I, the values of average final weight and ADG showed a significant increase in Group III, whereas Group II and Group IV exhibited an increasing trend with no significant difference ( P > 0.05).

In addition, the expression of TrxR1 has an increasing trend in HMSeBA group ( p = 0.05; Figure 2B ).
