Insoluble PA, which exhibited markedly lower levels than soluble PA, showed a trend of continuous decline except for a transient increase from 10 to 15 WAB; it reached its peak level (0.712 mg/g) at 15 WAB and lowest level (0.473 mg/g) at 25 WAB ( Figure 1C ).

In contrast to soil urease and invertase, acid phosphatase activities showed a decreasing trend with increasing N rate.

The available N content showed an increasing trend with increasing N rate, with the exception of the N FT treatment.

We observed a positive trend of the far-red light treatment on the capacity for CO 2 fixation per unit leaf area ( Figure 2 ), although none of the parameters of the photosynthesis response curves that were fitted were significantly different.

Furthermore, the interactions of species and previous year’s precipitation was highly significant and the model including the interaction between previous year precipitation and species reduced the residual variance by 42% compared to the model with species alone ( Supplementary Table S1 ).

SD showed highly significant positive correlated with FW ( r = 0.87), but had negative correlation with SW ( r = −0.85).

(2014) showed that the root to shoot ratio exhibited a decreasing trend during plant growth, which also demonstrated that desert herbs accumulate more biomass aboveground at the end of their growth to obtain enough photosynthetic products to complete sexual reproduction ( Xiao et al., 2014 ).

Although overall panicle length was not significantly different between Svfon2.2 mutant plants and WT and only weakly significant between Svfon2.1 and WT ( Figure 4B , Table 1A ), primary branch number per cm (i.e., branch density) was significantly higher in Svfon2 ( Figure 4C , Table 1A ).

We found moderately significant correlations between flavor and aroma ( R = 0.42) and between flavor and texture ( R = 0.53).

Thus, with a few exceptions, there was a clear trend to group the bacterial communities along Axis 1, which explained 51.3% of the variation, mainly by the presence of Vd in the soil mixture, and then along Axis 2, which explained 17.2% of the variation, also according to the inoculation procedure and in a lower extent according to the propagation method, with in vitro -adapted and nursery propagated plants being more similar between them ( Figure 3 ).

Genotypic differences for all the morphological and physiological traits revealed highly significant differences except transpiration rate (TR).

We found that both Tr and Gs showed a trend of increasing at first and then decreasing during the growth process.

These two micronutrients also had a positive and highly significant correlation with seed size (Gupta et al., 2009 ; Kanatti et al., 2014 ; Govindaraj et al., 2016 ).

odorifera in the Do-Dr model, whereas insignificant differences were found in plantlets in the Do-Sm model, except for a decreasing trend in the RRS of fine roots.

All the growth indices showed an increasing trend with the increase of N fertilizer application.

Effects of Nitrogen and Genotypes on Biological Yield Parameters Both grain yield and test weight exhibited an increasing trend with higher quantities of N dosages with 15–20% variation for grain yield.

The ANOVA revealed highly significant genotype × treatment interaction for the season 2017 and pooled data.

With the removal of leaves, both the total Chl content the Chl a / b ratio gradually increased in the stems; however, the soluble sugar level showed a decreasing trend.

In the 20–40 cm soil layer, the ex-Mg concentrations in the paddy soils of Heilongjiang Province showed a trend that was similar to that in 0–20 cm layer, in which the highest concentrations were present in the western part, and the lowest concentrations were present in the central part ( Figures 3B , 4B ).

Pearson's correlation analysis revealed highly significant positive correlations among the GFeC, GZnC, and GMnC base on BLUP.

Subsequent genome-wide predictions along-with association analyses uncovered a set of 298 highly significant key single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)/Quantitative Trait Nucleotides (QTNs) and 271 heterotic Quantitative Trait Nucleotides (hQTNs) related to agronomic and fiber quality traits.

Although the differences were not statistically significant, all the measured growth parameters, at least with D24, showed an increasing trend at flowering with ash application.

Supporting our results, except for Mg, a decreasing trend in accumulation was observed for all the analyzed macro and trace elements in the shoot tissue of maize plants grown with biomass fly ash application ( Ondrasek et al., 2021 ).

troglodyta L1 larvae were 0.668 ( P < 0.01) and 0.419 ( P < 0.05), respectively ( Supplementary Table 2 ), indicating extremely significant and significant correlations, respectively.

An increasing trend for anti−O 2 .– capacity in kiwifruit genotypes was observed under cold stress, however the KL had significantly stronger ability to scavenge ROS ( Figure 2E ).
