Excerpts

In the following storage period, H 2 O 2 content in control exhibited a decreasing trend during this period, as for ABA-treated fruit, the H 2 O 2 content was at a relatively stable value during the next 4 weeks.

The area proportion of farmland systems (RC and IC) around almost all populations of the three wild rice species showed a gradually decreasing trend in four periods (2004–2007, 2008–2011, 2012–2015, and 2016–2019), whereas the area proportion of the natural communities (TC, MTH, SL and TCF) showed an increasing trend.

This was depicted by a decreasing trend in SOD, POD, and CAT activities.

Further, the metabolite of GSH was extremely significant, with correlation coefficients of 0.993, 0.992, 0.963, and 0.939, respectively ( Figure 10 ).

The MSTRG.13863 gene encodes an NAD-ME and its expression levels showed a decreasing trend with fruit development; the expression levels were negatively correlated with malic acid and TA contents in the fruits.

As shown in Figure 5 , the AsA content in the leaves of Tiannong 9 showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing from the 1st to the 4th day after Cd stress, and the AsA/DHA ratio presented similar characteristics to the change of AsA content.

EL, MDA and activities of SOD, POD, CAT As shown in Figure 3 that Cd stress caused the leaf EL to show an increasing trend, which was manifested as a slow rise in the early stage and a sharp rise in the later stage, showing an increasingly severe trend as the stress level advanced.

FLL showed highly significant positive correlations with SN and TGW in rainfed conditions, but FLL was negatively correlated with SN, GL, GT, TGW in WW conditions.

Statistical analyses revealed a highly significant effect of Pb stress on Pb uptake among all species ( Table 5 ).

Candidate genes associated with citrulline accumulation of wax gourd fruit Citrulline showed an increasing trend during fruit development.

The accumulation of citric acid in wax gourd showed a decreasing trend during the time course development, and the young fruit stage was significantly higher than the commercial fruit stage.

In addition, an increasing trend in the chlorogenic acid level was observed during fruit development in the two cultivars, and the chlorogenic acid content significantly increased from the expansion to mature stages in M cultivar ( Figure 3F ).

In addition, the stem length of LsARF3 -OE lines was higher than that of WT with a significant or extremely significant difference from growing 40 days ( Figure 3D ).

The GA 3 content of green tomato fruit showed an increasing trend throughout the storage period and gradually decreased during the shelf life.

An increasing trend was observed in the protein content of soybean seed when nano-iron was applied in different concentrations under well-watered and drought conditions ( Table 6 ).

The contents of IAM involved in the IAM pathway first showed a decreasing trend in each FMd stage under each nitrogen application rate, and then went up.

The contents of IAN were dramatically higher than other IAA derivatives and showed a trend of decline with fluctuation, while the contents of IAN at T4 were largely decreased than other stages.

The other four copies had an increasing trend of expression levels from T0 and higher expression levels at the T3 and T4 stages.

The expression of these genes, in both fruit skin and flesh, showed an increasing trend during fruit development that was consistent with the carotenoid accumulation in these tissues.

In contrast, in wild landraces of common beans in Turkey, HFP showed a highly significant and positive correlation with seed yield per plant, suggesting that this trait possibly can be utilised for breeding of superior common bean genotypes ( Nadeem et al., 2020 ).

dothidea inoculation (range: 4–14 dpi), while L s showed an increasing trend.

Generally, a decreasing trend in the proportion of triterpenoids from southern to northern latitudes, accompanied with an increase in proportion of fatty acids, aldehydes, and alkanes, in bilberry fruit cuticular wax was observed.

In 2018, a clear trend of decrease in proportion of triterpenoids in berry wax was observed from southern latitudes in Latvia (79.9% triterpenoids of total wax), through location in Finland (50.7% triterpenoids of total wax) to northern Norway (27.4% triterpenoids of total wax).

The potential offset from the reduced population of lower seed cost is remarkable because seed represents one of the essential economic inputs (Spink et al., 2000 ); reasonably minimized seed waste might be significant concerning food adequacy and security in the future (Tokatlidis, 2014 ).

At Harbin (HH), it was significant or nearly significant in two years.
