Excerpts

There were highly significant correlations between ML and ER with Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.81 and 0.78 in boxes covered with 5 and 7 cm of soil, respectively.

Cis - and Trans -Effects for Transcripts in Aneuploids C1 and Cs1 Although MAAL C1 had an extra chromosome C1, it showed an extremely significant bias to down-regulated genes in comparison with RBR.

Although limited by the diversity of the control panel, the effects of the genotypic variances for most GMC traits were only marginally significant or insignificant, except for the Zn and Mn concentrations.

Introduction In the context of global warming, there is an increasing trend for the cultivation of crops with tropical and subtropical origins, such as maize, soybean, Miscanthus or Sorghum also in temperate climates, e.g., in Central Europe.

Interestingly, we also found a clear trend: higher was the number of genome sites that were modified in plants including SGR1 gene targeted, the greater was the green portion in the cross-section of the fruit.

These results indicate interaction with DELLA proteins is possibly significant for functions of these BlSPL genes.

In particular, throughout the anther development process, the SOD, CAT, and POD activity levels were higher in the IAMSLs than those in 706B, where there was a highly significant difference between the levels in the IAMSLs and 706B in the late uninucleate stage, as found in a previous study ( Song et al., 2008 ; Liu et al., 2011 ).

Recent studies indicate zoospore progeny can have genomes markedly different, at the chromosome level, from the isolate (or isolates) that initiated the infection and that an impressive, and potentially highly significant, amount of asexual evolution is occurring during spore production ( Barchenger et al., 2017 ; Castro-Rocha et al., 2017 ; Shrestha et al., 2017 ).

The growth-retarded quadruple mutants showed a trend for a decrease of the ratio of indolyl-3-methyl-GSL (I3M) and increase of the ratio of 4-methoxy-indolyl-3-methyl-GSL (1MI3M) although the change of 1MI3M in Q3;2 was not statistically significant.

In the present work, proline increased in both RL and FL samples under cold storage, while RH samples revealed a decreasing trend of this amino acid both under and after cold storage (Supplementary Figure S5A ).

Total soluble solids (TSS), higher at harvest in FL and RL as compared to RH, showed an increasing trend in FL and RL control fruit while in refrigerated samples no marked changes were observed.

The SNW, NT, NW, and NH showed highly significant correlations with each other ( Table 4 ).

The photoperiod-insensitive allele PPD-A1-380 showed only a mildly significant effect compared to the insensitive allele PPD-A1-452 .

It may be significant that the proportion of annual species in the central Chilean flora is much lower than in California ( Arroyo et al., 1995 ).

Furthermore, an interesting trend was observed in that increasing concentrations of Ni and Cu resulted in a gradual drop in profilin content.

This QTL became highly significant at around 136 DAS and reached its maximum statistical significance at 166DAS (Figure 4 ).

Analysis by t -tests identified a set of bins with highly significant associations to genetic map regions, based on probability ( p ) values that were appreciably lower than those determined for randomized data.

thaliana , and species-specific differences in the response of photosynthesis genes may be significant, even between grass species ( Kümpers et al., 2017 ).

SOC Effects on Plant Available Water (PAW) A highly significant positive correlation between PAW and SOC was obtained with Danish PTF, given by Y = 1.3094 x + 21.319 ( R 2 = 0.99 ∗∗∗ ) ( Y = PAW and X = SOC) ( Figure 3 ).

GmIPT3 is expressed at levels twice that of both GmIPT15 and GmIPT4 , which showed a trend of upregulation in the rhizobia inoculated roots.

These genes cluster with GmIPT15 , a duplicate of GmIPT3 and possibly a pseudogene, which does not show a clear trend in expression in response to the presence of rhizobia.

Based on the first system, the number of PG family members shows an increasing trend from non-vascular plants to monocots to eudicots.

This may explain the highly significant correlation between the two traits.

The average root diameter was highest during the first measurement campaign in July across all treatments (0.67 ± 0.02 mm) and followed by a decreasing trend until the last campaign in September ( Figure 4D ).

The former occurred when a marker was highly significant in a particular environment but not significant in the others while the latter occured when a marker was nearly significant in most single environments.
