Overall, in this work maize and teosinte showed similar responses to submergence, with a clear trend toward downregulation of miRNAs involved in the control of growth, development, antioxidant response, and copper homeostasis.

microcarpa were preferentially located in the D subgenome after the expected target gene numbers were adjusted for the differences in the total numbers of genes in the two subgenomes ( Table 2 ), as indicated by the marginally significant result. 4.

A cultivar effect was significant only for MDA content, while the treatment effect was highly significant for proline, protein, and MDA.

The relationship between the above-mentioned physiological parameters is highly significant and closely correlated.

The DRB significantly increased up to 70 ppm arsenic concentration followed by a decreasing trend at 90 ppm and another increasing rate at 100 ppm.

walleriana exposed to drought for 2–12 days, as water withholding duration increased, the average number of open flowers per plant showed a decreasing trend [ 46 ].

Among highly significant sites, most of the sites were associated with root traits under low-P, normal-P, and low-P trait index values.

In general, poroids’ dimensions showed a decreasing trend in the abvalvar direction (i.e., poroids in the third cingular band were narrower than those in the first two, and sometimes (25%), no poroids were detected), even if, often (40%), the dimensions and the shape of poroids in the first two cingular bands did not differ so much (but the second band had more striae with smaller poroids than the valvocopula, e.g., Figure 5 A).

Therefore, all the SNPs described above are likely to be significant TAVs for rice breeding; however, they should also be subjected to further functional research for validation. 5.

We also demonstrated that the F 0 increased without a significant change of F M (although an increasing trend was observed) under 50 nm nano-TiO 2 treatment, while both F 0 and F M increased under 10 nm nano-TiO 2 treatment in the studied species.

Under JA treatment, the activity of both cytosolic and plastidic G6PDH in leaves reached the maximum at 24 h and then displayed a decreasing trend ( Figure 6 C).

Cluster-Ι parameters showed an increasing pattern in “UVC1” and “UVC2” tomato plants but displayed a decreasing trend in “AT+UVC1” and “AT+UVC2” plants.

Under high salinity (12.0 dS m −1 ), all CSR indices exhibited highly significant correlations with the four variables (r values ≥ 0.65).

Interestingly, at the 16 October sampling, there was a notable trend for a greater net loss of N under the June-sown catch crop treatments than other August-sown treatments and the fallow control, despite the greater amounts of N that had been taken up by the respective crops.

Conversely, the relationship between the daily average value of sap flow density and stem water potential in NB was highly significant and positive ( Figure 7 c), indicating that this cultivar responded to a reduction in available water (more negative Ψ stem ) by closing stomata and reducing water fluxes (lower Q ave ).

Growth and Metabolism of Arabidopsis as Influenced by BASTA and/or NrEO BASTA-exposed Arabidopsis was characterized by the highly significant reduced fresh weight (FW) of shoots and roots ( Supplementary Materials Table S1 ), and this decrease was dose-dependent in shoots ( Figure 1 C).

Consistent with the aforementioned results of PF and MR, the reduction in the I 2 amplitude ( Figure 7 A,C,E,G) suggests a decreasing trend for PSI reduction activity at a high planting density.

Food Agricultural and Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reported that, from 2010 to 2015, there was an increasing and a decreasing trend of global plantations and natural forest areas, with the rate of 3.3 million ha/year and 6.5 million ha/year, respectively [ 2 , 25 ].

Statistical Analysis Significant differences in physiological traits among treatments and genotypes were analyzed using Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) in DPS7.05 software, and the differences at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 were considered significant and highly significant, respectively.

“Jinxuan” samples, the contents of these metabolites showed a significant trend ( Figure 4 ).

Model 1 shows highly significant effects for year, WAFB, sector crop load and cell division temperature and their interactions.

Consequently, there is an increasing trend for biofortification of feed crops with Zn to contribute to better Zn nutrition of livestock.

The highly significant variance components due to genotype and genotype-by-environment interactions were determined for 233 and 59 proteins, respectively ( Table S1 ).

Among them, there was significant correlation with flag leaf length, 1000-grain weight, and theoretical yield, but extremely significant correlation with grain length [ 26 , 93 , 94 , 95 ].

Another study in northwestern Spain showed a significant trend towards an increase in the temperature-related bioclimatic indices [ 58 ].
