Excerpts

Our results showed a decreasing trend between different water potentials, and this finding is assumed that water movement toward the shoot could be strongly restricted to maintain water potential in root tissue under drought condition.

We observed a highly significant positive correlation between maize grain concentrations of Zn and Fe (r=0.849 ***), in agreement with other studies ( Chakraborti et al., 2009 ; Wang et al., 2012 ; Xia et al., 2019 ; Zhao et al., 2020 ), indicating possible synergies between these traits.

The growth and/or photosynthetic rates of gametophytes from Onoclea sensibilis and Cibotium glaucum exhibit an increasing trend within a certain range of light intensity, but excessive light inhibits their development ( Miller and Miller, 1961 ; Friend, 1974 ).

It can be seen that there might be significant differences in the content of different metabolites in tea leaves after Mg treatment with different concentrations. 3.2.

Values of p < 0.05, p < 0.03, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001 were deemed significant, moderately significant, highly significant, and very highly significant respectively.

The experiment revealed a highly significant difference in the sugar alcohol content of THZ and CK, which was an increase of 108.95% ( Figure 3B ). 3.3 A global overview of the leaf transcriptome of Pinellia ternata with THZ The Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequenced 130,300,384 clean reads for the control group, whereas the experimental group had 138,509,108 clear reads.

There were highly significant differences for the first formative ring, but the differences gradually decreased in the second and third rings ( Figure 8C ).

Overall, lipids indicated an increasing trend in each diseased P. notoginseng sample (D1, D2, D3) compared to each healthy P. notoginseng (H1, H2, H3), while phenylpropanoid biosynthesis (ko00940) and flavonoid biosynthesis (ko00941) were prominent pathways shared among the three comparison groups. 3.9.

Furthermore, RWC displayed a significant correlation with SP, and highly significant correlation with RSA, while RWC had no significant correlation with other indexes. 3.1.5 PCA of all indexes in lettuce genotypes The parameters with similar effects were grouped together into distinct categories ( Table 3 ).

However, EMF showed an increasing trend with the increase in BNC ( Figure 2F ).

No significant differences between fertilizer types were found for specific leaf area, which in general showed a decreasing trend from 69 DAP and ranged between 282.3 to 214.2 cm2 g −1 ( Figure 2C ).

At the bulblet appearance and enlargement stage, the enzymes involved in the starch synthetic direction, such as ADP-glucose Pyrophosphorylase (AGPase, EC 2.7.7.27), Starch Synthase (SS, EC 2.4.1.21), Starch Branching Enzyme (SBE, EC 2.4.1.18) and Granule-bound Starch Synthase (GBSS, EC 2.4.1.242), showed a decreasing trend in mother scales but higher gene expression levels in newly formed bulblets, while the enzyme in the starch cleavage direction, Starch Debranching Enzyme (DBE, EC 3.2.1.10), showed higher expression levels in scales than in bulblets in lily ( Li et al., 2014 ).

In Lilium , the enzymes involved in starch synthetic direction, such as AGPase, GBSS, SS, and SBE, showed a decreasing trend in mother scales but an increasing trend in bulblets during bulblet formation ( Li et al., 2014 ; Wu et al., 2021 ).

Specifically, LOS exhibits a highly significant positive correlation with EOS across years.

(2020) suggested that increased soil moisture contributed to a positive trend in WUE in humid and high latitudes of northern China, which could also enhance carbon sequestration because of the increased water availability ( Liu et al., 2020 ).

3 Result 3.1 The WUE trend in China and eight ecological restoration areas Based on the linear method ( Figure 2 ), WUE had an increasing trend from 1982 to 2015 with an average rate of 0.0135gC/kgH 2 O/yr.

Other genes involved in NH 4 + transport, such as CsAMT2.1b , CsAMT3.3 , CsAMT4.1a , CsAMT4.1b , CsAMT4.1c , and CsAMT4.1d , exhibited similar expression profiles, with a decreasing trend under low N supply and a notorious induction under high N supply ( Wang et al., 2022c ).

A decrease in PvNCED3 transcript levels was observed in buds undergoing endodormancy release, alongside concomitant increases in carotenoid precursors for ABA biosynthesis and decreases in ABA content In addition to the expression changes in β-1,3-glucanases and β-amylase , a clear trend of decreased expression of PvNCED3 ( EVM0022332 ) was observed in the transcriptome and real-time qPCR analyses of flower buds undergoing endodormancy release across all three orchard locations ( Figures 7A, B ).

The PERMANOVA analysis ( Table 2 ) indicated highly significant variations in the dissimilarity matrix influenced by generation, endophyte presence, and their interaction.

The ANOVA unveiled the presence of highly significant variation among evaluated genotypes.

Furthermore, under conditions of elevated photorespiration, the serine concentration may be significant.

Overall, the hormone-related genes in pollen germination of wild banana showed an overall trend of down-regulated expression.

(2018) found that under low-temperature stress, the SOD activity in the leaves of the chrysanthemum ‘Jinlong Tengyun’ showed an overall trend of first increased and then decreased with decreasing temperature, possibly due to low-temperature damage.

Generally, the GS prediction ability demonstrated an increasing trend as the sampling proportion of the training population increased within and across subgroups, using all genotyping methods.

Moreover, the differences in cell size and cell number in the seed coat parenchyma between parents were highly significant ( Figures 2C, D ).
