Excerpts

However a slight trend to lateness was seen in LD, but this was not significantly different from wild type R108 ( Figures 7B , C ).

Therefore, the root concentration gradually decreased from top to bottom in the soil, so soil enzyme activity also showed a decreasing trend (Zhang and Yu, 1989 ; Zhang and Chen, 1997 ; Wang, 2006 ).

In the present study, the correlation between FHB and DON was highly significant and in entire agreement with Chrpová et al.

Furthermore, a highly significant interaction G × N was observed, which gives scope to select accessions with higher fructose:glucose ratio under low N inputs for breeding purposes.

With the increasing strength of the interspecific interaction, the plant height ( Figure 1C ) and the root architecture, including the root length ( Figure 1E ), surface area ( Figure 1F ) and root volume ( Figure 1G ), showed an increasing trend.

2 days comparison and exhibited a decreasing trend from the 4 days vs. 2 days comparison to the 8 days vs. 4 days comparison ( Figure 3C ).

Meanwhile, the numbers of upregulated DEGs in “glycolysis/gluconeogenesis,” “plant hormone signal transduction,” “plant–pathogen interaction,” and “carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms” pathways exhibited an increasing trend from the 2 days vs. 0 day comparison to the 4 days vs. 2 days comparison and exhibited a decreasing trend from the 4 days vs. 2 days comparison to the 8 days vs. 4 days comparison ( Figure 3C ).

These beneficial effects were reduced following the SBW epidemic and dry conditions during the 1970s, resulting in a negative mean BAI long-term linear trend for spruce in mixed stands ( Figures 4 , 5B ) and in a positive trend for aspen in the same stands ( Figure 5H ), although aspen showed a growth decline after the mid-1980s ( Figure 4 ; Supplementary Figure 4 ).

Analysis of Sym10 sequences revealed only one valine-isoleucine polymorphism at #221 position, which was not specific for any pea allele, and valine-isoleucine substitution that was almost insignificant at both structural and chemical levels.

An increasing trend was observed for TSS content at all development stages, i.e., 4.97, 7.87, 9.77, and 10.67 at 10, 18, 26, and 34 DAP ( Figure 1C ), respectively, whereas watermelon flesh’s firmness was measured as 2.72, 2.05, 1.68, and 1.27 kg/cm 2 at 10, 18, 26, and 34 DAP ( Figure 1D ), which has an opposite trend compared with fruit weight and TSS. pH can reflect the change of watermelon acidity, high pH is consistent with low acidity. pH values were recorded as 4.95, 5.14, 5.33, and 5.66 at 10, 18, 26, and 34 DAP ( Figure 1E ), respectively, indicating a decrease in acidity during fruit development.

Nine classes were obtained through the analysis of all the DAMs, among which the content of candidate metabolites in classes 1 and 7 presented an increasing trend, with 49 and 52 DAMs, respectively, such as sucrose citrulline and histidine; in contrast, 65 candidate DAMs in class 4 showed a decreasing trend, similarly, in classes 5 and 6, the metabolites also showed a downward trend during the watermelon flesh development, and there were 30 and 38 candidate DAMs, such as naringenin chalcone, vanillin, salicylic acid, and adenosine ( Figure 2D and Supplementary Table 1 ).

As the experimental phase progressed, the nitrate contents of the stems and petioles showed an increasing trend in the N HHH treatment.

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 ).

Geopotential height at 500 hPa in the study area had an extremely significant increasing trend, positive anomalies of potential height corresponded to higher temperature and the regional climate clearly showed a trend of increasing extreme warm indices and reducing cold indices ( Figure 8A ).

Tree-Ring Chronology in Two Regions The tree-ring chronology showed an increasing trend in the non-degraded but a decreasing trend in the degraded regions ( Figure 5 ).

Overall, the CP shows a decreasing trend until 2080, while the GDH shows an increasing trend, although less pronounced.

Among these 15 kinds of amino acids, except for the decrease in glutamine content, the others all showed an increasing trend ( Figure 14A ).

An increasing trend in ketone content was observed during the ripening of TH figs.

In contrast, according to predictions of the best model, leaf sugar concentration showed a slight trend of increasing over the course of the experiment in all sites ( Supplementary Table 13 ) and leaves of seagrasses from low impacted sites around Ischia had significantly higher leaf sugar concentration than plants from Baia by the end of the experiment [ Figure 5 ; χ 2 (1) = 4.53, p = 0.0333; Supplementary Table 12A ].

The average concentration of soluble sugars was significantly higher in rhizomes in the plants from Ischia compared to the ones of Baia in June 2019 [ Figure 6 ; χ 2 (1) = 7.46, p = 0.0063], and according to predictions of the best model showed a trend of declining over the time of the experiment in all plots at all sites ( Supplementary Table 13 ).

A clear trend toward more positive values of the X-variate 1 (component 1) due to the infestation of the plants was observed, i.e., from mel-cnt to mel+aph and from mel+endo to mel+endo+aph.

Highly significant mean sum of squares ( Table 2 ) indicated the significant variability among the genotypes, the prominence of variation due to locations, and a differential response of the genotypes to the environments for GY, grain mold resistance.

The response of SD, however, was generally nonsignificant to climatic factors except for PWQ and PDQ (marginally significant positive response; Table 2 ).

P < 0.05 was considered to be significant, and P < 0.01 was considered to be extremely significant.
