Excerpts

In this study, although TP content in the peel showed an increasing trend, there was no noticeable difference between the CK and C3 treatments.

While the HC content from 110 to 190 DAF showed an increasing and then decreasing trend, the CEL content exhibited a decreasing trend ( Figures 3E–F ).

The expression levels of MpWUS and MpWOX1a were strongly induced after 6 hours of treatment, and showed a decreasing trend.

These effects, if contradicting, might result in the absence of a clear trend, as could be the case here.

Chlorophyll activity, Rubisco activity, RuBP regeneration capacity, and nitrogen content (positively correlated with the photosynthetic potential of leaves) generally exhibited an increasing trend during the leaf expansion phase, followed by the maintenance of relatively high values, and then decreased as the leaves aged ( Murchie et al., 2002 ; Suzuki et al., 2009 ; Gunasekera et al., 2013 ), which might be the primary reasons for the variation in g sw , T r , and P n .

At the same grain filling stage, the GS activity in the grains of both genotypes showed a trend of N3≥N2>N1≥N0.

Hence, it is believed that carbon and nitrogen metabolism in kernels between waxy maize and other maize may be significant differently.

It showed that AGPase activity and soluble sugar content had a highly significant positive correlation in both genotypes, and SBE and DBE activity of both genotypes had extremely significant negative correlation with amylopectin content, while GBSS activity and amylopectin content was significantly correlated only in JN20.

The application of GA 3 had a highly significant effect on phosphorus accumulation from the anthesis stage to the maturity stage.

There was an interesting trend in the JA/ET-marker PR3 gene expression, where the expression was higher in ‘Pusa Jaikisan WRR ’ at 12, 24 and 72 hpi, whereas it was reversed at 48 and 96 hpi.

The findings of this study are practically significant for utilization and high-quality breeding of the genus Allium .

The soil available N content showed a decreasing trend during the rice growth stages, and the decrease in the soil available N content of the combined microbial agent application treatments (T 3 –T 5 ) was higher than that of the T 1 treatment, with the T 3 treatment showing the most significant decrease.

Our trend predictions indicate a decreasing trend in GOSIF vegetation in Xinjiang, coupled with an increasing trend in drought.

2.3 Isothermal amplification methods There is an increasing trend in the rapid development of molecular technologies, which have demonstrated effective advancements for diagnostics.

The bar charts in each figure illustrate that, under CRF treatments, as the depth of fertilizer application increased, the proportion of RLD in the 0–20 cm soil layer gradually decreased, whereas RLD in the 20–100 cm soil layer showed an increasing trend.

Both TPC and soluble quinone contents of freshly cut CWCs exhibited an increasing trend, but those of the MeJA group increased to a lesser extent than the control ( Figures 3A, B ).

Six essential genes in the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) system, including DXS , DXR , MCT , CMK , MDS , and HDR , did not exhibit an increasing trend of expression throughout the Tur and Nca treatments ( Figure 6B ).

The tracheid density and pit density generally showed a decreasing trend during drought stress, which was found to lower water transport efficiency for escaping drought in lentil ( Priya et al., 2021 ).

The Sg strain reached its maximum soluble protein content at 15% PEG-6000, followed by a decreasing trend with increasing PEG-6000 concentrations.

Thus, it is highly practically significant to improve the ability of grapes to take up Se in the original soil.

Predictive RNA editing analysis revealed that there might be significant editing in NADH dehydrogenase subunit transcripts.

Statistics analyses on the phenotypic data of the parental lines and of the RILs confirmed the usefulness of the selected genetic material for the target traits: i) parental lines showed statistically significant differences for all traits, except for SD; ii) the genotype, environment, and GxE interactions had a highly significant effect on the phenotypic variation; iii) a high broad-sense heritability was calculated indicating that the observed phenotypic variation was mainly due to heritable genetic differences among the RILs.

In addition, during the recovery period, the ratios of negative and positive correlation species pairs of the shrub layer of LF and the understory layer of BF showed an increasing trend, which meant the competition among populations within the understory vegetation community of BF and shrub community of LF intensified.

TD-PD patterns show highly significant spatial association (local R 2 > 0.88) in different areas of northern Chile (18-21°S), coastal, desert, and transitional sectors between 26- 29°S at different elevations ( Supplementary Figure S10B ).

In 2021, both WUE and IWUE showed an increasing trend with increasing water deficit.
