Excerpts

Nearly all regarded traits that were tested separately showed highly significant differences in their community-weighted means (CWMs) between the samples of seeds and seedlings.

ns was considered no significant, * p < 0.05 was considered significant and ** p < 0.001 was considered extremely significant.

In addition, a highly significant correlation (R 2 > 0.85) was observed between the levels of GA 3 ( Figure 5 B) and internode length (L2) in the spring.

Statistical analysis showed, in both cases, highly significant correlation coefficients. 2.2.

A negative trend was noted when improved flowering was compared to the decreased expression of the ASMT gene.

In the dormant buds, there was an increasing trend (ca. 2-fold) in the expression of TDC in the locally adapted cultivars in response to NS and P treatments compared to locally adapted cultivars exposed to snow treatment ( Figure 6 A).

* p < 0.5 represents a significant difference, ** p < 0.01 represents an extremely significant difference. 5.

In contrast, the spatially averages of Ash p and WSC p showed a decreasing trend with a rate of –0.003 g m −2 yr −1 and –0.002 g m −2 yr −1 , respectively.

Variation Rates for Forage Nutrition Storage, and Their Correlations with Environmental Variables Overall, the spatially averages of CP p , EE p , ADF p , NDF p , CP a , Ash a , EE a , ADF a , NDF a and WSC a showed an increasing trend with a rate of 0.004 g m −2 yr −1 , 0.002 g m −2 yr −1 , 0.034 g m −2 yr −1 , 0.059 g m −2 yr −1 , 0.017 g m −2 yr −1 , 0.050 g m −2 yr −1 , 0.004 g m −2 yr −1 , 0.046 g m −2 yr −1 , 0.079 g m −2 yr −1 and 0.011 g m −2 yr −1 , respectively.

The life strategy pattern shows the colonists as the prevailing species, featured by an increasing trend up to 2200 m of elevation; above this limit, they are exceeded by the perennial stayers.

A total of 200 mg/kg of the ZMME extract and clomiphene-treated groups exhibited highly significant activity on the total cholesterol.

With the addition of OG and APOG, the total Cd and available Cd showed a decreasing trend, in which the content of available Cd in the CK group was 38.89% higher than that in OG group, and 184.19% higher than that in the APOG group.

Although the SDA shrinkage trend of northern plants is highly significant compared to that of southern plants, the SDA expansion was not significantly different.

Latitudinal Change in the SDA Mass Center of Northern and Southern Landscape Plants under Climate Change Scenarios The overall latitudinal change in the SDA mass center of northern and southern landscape plants under climate change scenario 126 showed an increasing trend compared to the current climate scenario ( Figure 7 ).

The ANOVA results showed highly significant variation in mesocotyl elongation among the accessions ( Table 1 ).

Among other plant hormones, the synthesis of lyric acid (JA) and the expression of genes related to signaling pathways have an overall trend of increasing, which is inconsistent with the reported negative regulatory effect of JA on germination.

For maize, when warming was below 3.5 °C, the change in maize yield showed a decreasing trend, but it was still greater than zero.

When the maximum temperature was higher than 3.5 °C and the minimum temperature was higher than 3.9 °C, the maize yield showed an increasing trend.

Contrary to the ETR, a decreasing trend was observed in both species for an effective quantum yield of PSII, φPSII.

The application of N had no significant effect on the HI of the two rice varieties, whereas potassium showed a trend of increasing HI ( Figure 4 ).

It should also be noted that the differences in the distributions of head weight and height between the low- and high-stomatal-density genotype groupings were near statistical significance, with p -values of 0.0544 and 0.0543 for each trait, respectively.

No statistically significant difference was apparent between varieties for the trait of stomatal density on the fifth leaf.

In this respect, the increase in seed weight due to Se supply was highly significant under nano-Se application for all cultivars studied, whereas no effect or even an inhibition were recorded upon sodium selenate and selenite applications ( Figure 2 A).

All the effects were highly significant, apart from cultivar.

Among them, plant height and edible fresh weight showed a significant positive correlation with IAA, while they exhibited highly significant negative correlations with ABA and SA.
