Among the traits, GY was highly significant and positively correlated with PH (r = 0.71 **) , and EPP (r = 0.63 ** ) under OPT conditions.

In all association analyses, a highly significant locus on chromosome 10 was detected, which was tight chained with the known SCR resistance gene RPPC and RPPK .

If β > 0, NPP showed an increasing trend; if β< 0, NPP showed a downward trend.

The average NPP of different land use types changed at different rates and showed a trend of fluctuating growth.

(2021) observed a decreasing trend in GPC over the last 85 years using a DW collection including accessions representative of the Argentina, Italy, Chile, France, CIMMYT and other countries breeding programs.

The genetic correlations among traits were calculated ( Figure 2 ), showing highly significant coefficients between grain and flour protein (1.00).

The results showed that: 1) with increased grazing intensity and enhanced human activities from 1990 to 2015, the grasslands of the northern Tibetan Plateau were greatly degraded, most of which was converted into the barren land, and the conversion proportion was as high as 90.84%, which lead to a decreasing trend of the current density of ecological network in most counties and deterioration of ecological connectivity; 2) fencing construction has reduced regional current density, while fencing intensity is positively correlated with current density loss at county scale.

TSS revealed a close to neutral correlation with most of the physiological, morphological and phenological traits except MAT (0.30) and SPAD2 (-0.31), where highly significant positive and negative associations, respectively, were observed ( Figure 1 ).

With the postponement of the water deficit stage, P n , G s , and T r showed an increasing trend, while C i showed a trend of decreasing at the beginning and then increasing later ( Figure 5D ), while LWUE showed a firmly decreasing trend ( Figure 5F ).

The accumulation of gibberellin 12 (GA 12), gibberellin 1 (GA 1), gibberellin 4 (GA 4), gibberellin 9 (GA 9), gibberellin 14 (GA 14), gibberellin 15 (GA 15), gibberellin 20 (GA 20), and gibberellin 53 (GA 53) showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing during NaCl stress, with the highest levels reaching at 24 h ( Figure 5A ).

The total flavonoid content and the content of seven flavonoids in the leaves of Cymbopogon showed an increasing trend with increasing salt concentrations, and short-term salt stress also enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity in the leaves of Cymbopogon ( Lei et al., 2021 ).

Genetic components of plant development in the group of 188 winter wheat cultivars Two-way ANOVAs were carried out on the various phenotypic traits, and both main factors—genotype and year—were highly significant components of trait variances ( Supplementary Table 1 ).

The result declared that the soil variables (OM %, N %, P mg/Kg, K mg/Kg) and biomass of plant show a decreasing trend from low to high altitude except for available water contents (AW %) and Potassium (K mg/Kg) contents.

Regarding to the FA composition in DAG, MUFAs increased at lower temperatures from 18% at 31°C to 33% at 9°C, while PUFAs and SFA did not show a clear trend.

(2014) determined higher carotenoid contents in Arabidopsis grown at higher temperatures (17°C to 27°C), while there was only a positive trend in kale and spinach (from 10°C to 30°C) ( Lefsrud et al.

An interesting trend observed in the essential oil of CR9×CR3 was that in both harvests of 2017, sesquiterpenes, mainly caryophyllene oxide and ( E )-β-caryophyllene, dominated the essential oil and, when the levels of those compounds were reduced (3 rd and 4 th successive harvests), Z,E- nepetalactone levels were high.

Our previous study has demonstrated that endogenous ABA shows a decreasing trend, while GA first increases and then decreases in P. notoginseng seeds during the after-ripening process ( Yang et al., 2018 ), and some candidate genes related to seed dormancy have been obtained in P. notoginseng , including ABSCISIC ACID-INSENSITIVE 5 ( ABI5 ), XANTHOXIN DEHYDROGENASE ( ABA2 ), PROTEIN PHOSPHATASE 2C ( PP2C ), DELLA PROTEIN GA-INSENSITIVE ( GAI ), and GAINSENSITIVE DWARF 2 ( GID2 ) ( Yang et al., 2019 ).

Correspondingly, all of the melatonin biosynthetic genes investigated here exhibited an increasing trend firstly and then declined during the remaining storage time.

Furthermore, glycosides showed highly significant positive correlations with their respective malonylglycosides, genistin and malonylgenistin ( r = 0.90***), daidzin and malonyldaidzin ( r = 0.89***), and glycitin and malonylglycitin ( r = 0.87***) ( Figure 2 ). 3.2 GWAS reveals candidate loci underlying seed isoflavone contents The phenotypic and genotypic data for 1551 diverse soybean accessions were used for GWAS analysis to identify putative loci associated with isoflavone contents in the individual environment (Hainan 2017, Hainan 2018, Beijing 2017, Beijing 2018, and Anhui 2017).

The genes encoding terpene synthase (TPS) and cytochrome P450 proteins in Pinaceae showed a trend of expansion compared with those in Cycas.

It showed that all the correlation coefficients were highly significant except GD at the KM location.

phloem infusion Xylem infusion but not phloem infusion led to increased tissue δ 13 C levels in the greenhouse experiment with bonsai Ficus trees ( Figure 2 ), and the respiration experiment with young maple trees showed also highly significant effects of xylem infusion on the Δδ 13 C values of shoot dark respiration ( Figure 5 ).

Glutathione adjusts continuously in plants, giving play to different metabolic processes and extremely significant antioxidant advantages, which can effectively scavenge free radicals in organisms, which cannot be reflected by glutamine, lycopene and other oxidants ( Nakamura et al., 2019 ).

In this study, we analyzed the effects of acidification on the physicochemical properties, microorganisms and metabolites of tea rhizosphere soils with different pH values, and the results showed that with the increase of soil pH, the organic matter content, cation exchange capacity, microbial biomass carbon, microbial biomass nitrogen, microbial respiration intensity, bacterial number and actinomyces number in tea rhizosphere soil all showed an increasing trend, while the fungi number decreased.

sativus cultures and a decreasing trend in B. oleracea protoplast cultures, without any ROS signal being detected.
