Additionally, the total content of soluble protein displayed a decreasing trend, measuring 33.422 mg/g and 19.133 mg/g at 0 hours and 20 hours, respectively ( Figure 2E ).

The decrease in weight of open field fruits during postharvest compared to fresh ripe fruit was highly significant, unlike protected soilless fruit, whose weight does not vary significantly during storage at 1°C ( Figure 2B ).

Despite high variability in plant architecture within each treatment, there is an apparent trend that plants grown in substrates used for a second production cycle had slightly reduced number of leaves, crowns, and overall biomass production ( Figure 4 ).

The number of enriched genera in the rhizosphere and root samples under SCN pressure showed a decreasing trend with bulked soil at 10 DAI.

As shown in Figure 6B , the RMSECV values showed an overall trend of decreasing and then increasing with the sampling times, and the RMSECV values were the lowest when the number of sampling times reached 47.

As the concentration of swelling agent increased, the soluble protein content of the fruits showed a decreasing trend.

The specific root lengths in the competitive and non-competitive treatments showed a clear regularity; the specific root surface area showed a trend similar to that of specific root length, with the specific root area of the homogeneous environment being higher than that of the heterogeneous environment, and that of the homogeneous environment being 68%, 52%, and 57% higher than those of the N, P, and K heterogeneous environments, respectively.

Metabolite accumulation Data analysis for malondialdehyde (MDA) showed a highly significant difference in Cd stress and ZnO-NPs.

In addition, these contents exhibited a decreasing trend as the soil depth increased.

The mean DOC content showed a trend of increasing, then decreasing and then increasing under the nitrogen and phosphorus treatments.

ammodendron at the C 4 site exhibited a decreasing trend from June to September, but the differences were not statistically significant ( Figure 3 ).

After the addition of brassinolide, the lignin content initially showed a decreasing trend, followed by an increase and then a decrease again with increasing brassinolide concentration.

membranaceus , showing an increasing trend with higher salt concentrations ( Figure 4 ).

PCA revealed highly significant correlations among the indicators, indicating a certain degree of overlap and crossover in the information reflected by them.

At the same time, total THC yield (g/m 2 ) was evaluated, where there was a clear trend in favor of ET across all comparisons.

The levels of ABA in the three varieties of alfalfa roots exhibited an increasing trend with increasing stress, rising by 177.87%, 75.25%, and 208.89%, respectively.

Discussion In recent years, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic research tools have been utilized increasingly in plants, which has been noted as a significant trend in botanical studies.

When correlating N content and dry matter accumulation per stem with NA ( Table 5 ), it was clear that both factors exhibited a highly significant correlation with NA, with dry matter accumulation contributing more to NA in japonica rice and N content contributing more to NA in indica rice.

M1 showed a trend of improving N uptake compared with M2 and M3 from seeding to jointing stage.

With N reduction by 10%−20%, the stem and tiller number in M4−M5 showed a decreasing trend compared with M3, but all showed no significant difference at different stages.

A decreasing trend of WRI1 expression during seed development has also been reported in several oil-seed species ( Troncoso-Ponce et al., 2011 ).

Our nutrient analysis showed that the embryo, in turn, accumulates starch increasingly towards the later developmental stages which could further be confirmed by our transcriptome results showing an increasing trend of transcripts levels encoding enzymes in the cytosolic glycolytic pathway.

The N utilization efficiency of maize and alfalfa showed a decreasing trend with increasing N application.

Interestingly, the CAT1 gene expression was highly significant (6.5-fold) in flooding stress compared with eCO 2 (4.03-fold), flooding + eCO 2 (2.02-fold), and control.

In contrast, un-inoculated control plants did not exhibit a clear trend in DHN1 gene expression under varying stress conditions.
