alba at different drought times showed a decreasing trend across the four water stress levels.

papyrifera at different drought times showed an increasing trend across the four water stress levels.

Based on the SMA results, we have observed that the overall fit for total phenolic contents to PC1 showed an increasing trend with the elevation of TEs (β = 1.400225), where both species share a common slope ( Table S6 ).

It is reported that coumarins dominated in celery ( Table 2 ), additionally, based on the SMA model a positive trend regarding PC1 in celery (β = 44.71397) can be noticed, while in parsley, it occurred as a weak negative trend based on the slope (β = −1.5026377).

Arsenic, in all As treatments, caused a highly significant decrease in the number of root tips and the average diameter of the root, but increased the branching frequency in comparison with the control.

Except for the NPK treatment at the Qiyang site, wheat and maize yields under the NPK and NPKM treatments showed an increasing trend.

In contrast to phenolics, biosynthesis of triterpenoids seems to have an increasing trend with the increase of growth years, with likely slower decay processes and sustained metabolic activity.

Additionally, the interaction between silicon and injury had a marginally significant effect on larval weight gains, probably because the induced resistance was weaker in plants treated with silicon ( Table 1 ).

Highly significant three-way interactions were evident between species coexistence, inoculant, and NaCl; inoculant, NaCl, and species indicated that NaCl modified the effects of other factors and their interactions.

Considering the total number of electrons transferred into the electron transport chain (N; Figure 3 a), contaminated marsh individuals, when salt exposed, exhibited no significant changes while pristine site plants showed an increasing trend, displaying a significant increase at 400 mM NaCl and a highly significant increase at 800 mM NaCl, in relation to the contaminated site population as well at both salinities.

An increasing trend from 1 to 3 days and a declining trend from 3 to 7 days were observed in the survival of shoot apices after cryopreservation [ 83 ].

In the present research, the growth conditions of both species showed a decreasing trend with the increase in the submergence depth.

With the increase in submergence depth, it showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.

The expected outcome of this experiment was to identify the different physiological factors related to the flowering behavior of date palm varieties, which in turn would be highly significant for the production of early-bearing varieties of date palm in the future.

There was an increasing trend of phenol concentration from the preflowering stage to the flowering and postflowering stages.

Similarly, DEGs that are related to the photosynthesis pathway (Ko00195) were also mainly down regulated during light deficiency conditions, among which 568 DEGs were significantly down regulated, whereas 26 genes showed a trend of significant upregulation ( Figure 2 E,F).

The effects of the Hd1 allele types were highly significant for days to heading in all four environments, explaining 51.4–65.8% of the phenotypic variation.

When they used maximum width (W), leaf length (L), petiole length (Lp) and dry weight of leaves (DML) as single variables in the regression equations were not as closely associated with total leaf area, although their R 2 values were also highly significant.

As regards the SOD activity, results obtained at the V12 stage already revealed a highly significant increase in the SOD activity level in untreated (CT) cultivars, which was reduced in all other treatments (NP, FF, NP + FF).

The analysis of variance for frond and root traits showed highly significant differences among the clones ( Table 2 ).

As mentioned above, large parts of coastal areas in Bangladesh have suffered from soil salinity with an increasing trend and, thus, crop production is becoming challenging there.

The results of ANOVA ( Table S1 ) revealed highly significant variations among cultivars (C) and between salt treatments (S) for almost all of the examined traits, indicating a genetic difference between the maize cultivars used for salt tolerance.

Membrane injury showed an increasing trend with increasing levels of salt stress from the control to 140 mM NaCl ( Table 5 ).

[ 29 ] highlighted that L* and a* values were negatively influenced by the increased BSG levels, while b* value recorded a positive trend.

Inversely, GS activity was decreased after Mo treatment and the differences were highly significant in the three species/cultivars.
