(2018) also found a decreasing trend in leaf K + in ‘Summer Black’ cv. in response to NaCl irrigation, and Munns and Tester (2008) indicated that a strong relationship between leaf K + and salt tolerance had not yet been reported.

It was found experimentally that all three indicators of the experiment showed a decreasing trend as the time window increased.

Shrub frequency on rocks (6.75–38.04%) increased gradually with increasing mingling, whereas tree frequency exhibited a decreasing trend ( Figure 5F ).

There was a declining trend for plant height and an increasing trend for grain volume weight.

Moreover, the expression levels of Csa-miR395s showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing, and 6 h was the main response time point in response to NaCl treatments.

euphratica population age structure follows a pyramid structure with an increasing trend ( Han et al., 2013 , 2014 , 2017 ), while in the middle and lower reaches, the population structure exhibits an inverted pyramid shape, with a declining trend ( Xu et al., 2016 ; Zhou et al., 2018 ).

The average GD and SM values exhibit a decreasing trend from the upper to lower reaches ( Figure 7 ).

In contrast to WUE, the standard deviation of WP showed an increasing trend, while the coefficient of variation showed a decreasing trend.

The second RDA component (axis 2), however, did not show such a clear trend.

Contrariwise, the VPD curve of the FA plants had higher g sw values than AA, which was highly significant.

The yield had a highly significant and positive correlation with Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes.

The enzyme activity showed a trend of increasing first and decreasing later after the inoculation, and it reached the highest at 48 h.

Compared with SC, the relative abundance of Cryptococcus in CK exhibited an extremely significant decline, the relative abundance of T etraclaudium , Alternaria , Clonostachys , and Chaetomium decreased significantly, and the relative abundance of Pseudonymnoascus increased significantly ( Supplementary Figure 2 ).

along the first factor but an overlap amongst all four species along the second factor, where a slight trend separating E. glareosa s.l. and E. nicaeensis s.l. could be observed ( Figure 7C ).

However, we found no support for this (no significant species × P interaction), but we should note that the increases in CENA P with P fertilization were relatively small and only marginally significant.

PI 43:2 exhibited a decreasing trend with aging time, while PI 34:2 demonstrated no apparent change.

The qRT-PCR results demonstrated that the expression levels of lignin biosynthesis genes including PtrPAL4 , PtrC4H1 , PtrC3H3 , Ptr4CL5 , PtrCCoAOMT3 , PtrCOMT2 , PtrCCR2 , PtrCAld5H2 , and PtrCAD1 , lignin polymerization genes including PtrLAC19 , PtrLAC21 , PtrLAC26 , and PtrLAC41 , and hemicellulose biosynthesis genes including PtrGT43A , PtrGT47C , and PtrGT8F , increased at extremely significant levels, while the expression levels of the cellulose biosynthesis genes such as PtrCESA4 , PtrCESA7 , and PtrCESA8 , had no obvious increases in PtrWOX13A transgenic lines compared with WT ( Figure 6A ).

In normal year, although crop rotation did not increase wheat yield, it showed an increasing trend ( Figure 4 ), which was mainly due to increased DMpa to a certain extent ( Table 2 ).

Cluster 2 showed a trend opposite to that of cluster 1, with genes from this cluster displaying increased expression at 6 hpi, followed by a return to baseline at 12 hpi.

Results Optimal MT Concentration for Priming The priming effect showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase in MT concentration.

By analyzing the temporal changes in the number of genes of different metabolic pathways in KEGG, we found that the number of genes in circadian rhythm genes showed a trend of increase and then decrease in the three groups of CK-5d vs.

In the current study, an increasing trend in SDW was observed with the increasing S level.

Phenotypic analysis revealed highly significant differences among the reactions of 145 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) to SCN4.

Activity of D-Cysteine Desulfhydrase and L-Cysteine Desulfhydrase Enzymes The activity of DCD and LCD revealed an increasing trend in untreated and hydrogen sulfide-fumigated banana fruits from days 2 to 10 of the cold storage ( Figures 3B,C ).

The difference of selenium concentration of 0.5 and 1 mg/L was significant compared to CK and 0.2 mg/L, and the difference was extremely significant compared with the other five high concentration treatments ( Figure 6 ).
