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.

The statistical significance was considered at ∗ P < 0.05 for significant and ∗ P < 0.01 for highly significant values.

Surprisingly, we did not find a clear trend in either sucrose synthesis or the tested SUT gene transcript levels.

In this study, several loci on the homologues chromosome 2 revealed highly significant associations to PM resistance.

In EXP 1, carbohydrates concentration in leaves showed a decreasing trend in all treatments and reached significant lower values at day 7 compared to its start level at day 0.

Correlations Among 190 RILs with BLUE values of 10 traits, highly significant positive correlations were observed among ZPR, ZBR, IPR, and IBR.

An increase in the yield per grapevine was observed in both seasons with a highly significant increase in yield per grapevine in 100% ET c treatment.

Both TPC and TFC in group Q showed a decreasing trend compared to the control after chilling treatment, with the lowest values at 36 and 48 h, respectively ( Figures 2A , B ).

In general, most phenolic compounds showed confusing trends in the two groups; whereas the total content of phenolic compounds exhibited a significant trend after chilling treatment.

Mrva and Mares (2001b) reported the first QTL to be associated with variation in LMA phenotype in a Cranbrook (LMA-susceptible) x Halberd (LMA-resistant) doubled haploid population; a highly significant locus on the long arm of chromosome 7B and a minor locus on 3B.

Between nine and 13 highly significant markers were found to be associated with yield, seed weight, plant height, and maturity among the markers evaluated in advanced and preliminary genotypes screened in field trials.

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

We found a positive trend in chromosome length and the SSR abundance as marker density enhanced with a shorter chromosome length.

Results showed that the Chl content within the upper leaves exhibited an increasing trend from the basal to the top portions but a decreasing pattern within the lower leaves at the most growth stages.

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.

In the analysis by individual events for the 2016 study ( Supplementary Table 2 ), the early silking phenotype in drought conditions was especially pronounced, with all three transgenic events having highly significant differences in silking time of more than a full day earlier than controls, resulting in significantly decreased ASI for two of the events.

The dry weight showed an increasing trend passing from the autumn to early-spring (ES) cycle, specifically in the FL system, where leaves also showed a higher leaf area ( Table 9 ).

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.
