Excerpts

In addition, the expression of genes including AhIAA-3A , AhIAA-16A and AhIAA-15B showed an increasing trend with seeds becoming mature, while expression of another three genes including AhIAA-11A , AhIAA-5B and AhIAA-14B showed a decreasing trend with seed maturity, suggesting that these genes were also closely related to the seed developing process.

When we compare this proportion to that of flowering plants on all the specimens of the herbarium on which [ 49 ] have worked (ranging from 79.4 to 92.7%), we see a highly significant difference.

The relationship between the C T -values of these two RGs was a linear and highly significant positive correlation (r = 0.836 **).

As expected, the expression of both COX-2 and TNF-α exhibited a decreasing trend on Mb-ME treatment ( Figure 5 C).

Liver Function Index Compared to the NC group, the HF group only showed a trend of higher plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities.

Meanwhile, only a decreasing trend was observed in the FRB treatment groups when compared to the HF group ( Figure 3 ). 2.3.2.

Moreover, compared to the NC group, the HF group showed a trend of a lower propionic acid level; however, only an increasing trend was observed in the HF + 1% FRB and HF + 5% FRB groups compared to the HF group ( Table 7 ). 3.

However, the other location showed quite significant overlapping, with a close correlation between the Qassem and Salwa locations.

Dividing the genotypic effect into GCA and SCA components revealed that the GCA and SCA mean squares were highly significant for all assessed characteristics.

In our research, the activities of POD, SOD and CAT enzymes in the four oak species showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing.

In our research, the SS, Pro, GB and SP levels of the four oak species all showed an increasing trend in the early stages of sustained drought stress.

Photosynthetic Parameters Compared with the control group, the Pn, Gs and Tr values for the four oak species showed a decreasing trend under continuous drought stress.

Except for GhGPDH1 and GhGPDH14 , all of the genes showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing and peaked at 12 h post treatment.

The average numbers of amino acids in groups I through IV, as well as their molecular masses, showed an increasing trend.

FUM 1 , OGDH 2 , PEPC 3, and PEPC 4 and SCS 1 shared positive correlation relationship with citric acid contents, of which PEPC 3 and PEPC 4 were highly expressed at stage 5 during fruit development with an extremely significant relationship ( Table S10 ).

However, a decreasing trend for all pigments was noticed from 80 mM NaCl onwards ( Table 1 ).

A significant trend for earlier spring drop onset in Araxos site was evident following the similar downward trend of April precipitation, which was found to be the most influential climatic factor at this particular event and site.

Thus, Aglianico wines from early leaf removal on the north side (ND) showed a trend to increase the mayor number of compounds quantified, with exceptions of 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-propanol, 3-oxo-7,8-dihydro-a-ionol, isoamyl acetate and hexyl acetate, which were higher when early leaf removal was made on the south side (SD) of the canopy.

Temporal Trends in Tree Vitality There was a significant trend of increasing mean defoliation (DEF) by 0.39% annually over the study period ( Figure 1 ).

The results reveal an increasing trend of DEF during the study period from 1996 to 2017.

The landraces Chenkayama (0.75 μ mol g −1 FW) and Oheruchitteni (0.70 μ mol g −1 FW) recorded the lowest GA concentration, However, the GA level remarked a decreasing trend in stressed seeds in comparison with the control, irrespective of genotypes ( Table 4 and Figure 4 ).

Relationship between Soil Organic Carbon, Inorganic Carbon, Total Nitrogen and Cation Exchange Capacity and Aggregate Stability In each fertilization treatment, the aggregate content of each particle size was positively correlated with soil organic carbon, inorganic carbon, total nitrogen and cation exchange, and reached a significant or extremely significant level ( Table 3 ).

The results of the ANOVA across optimum environments ( Table 4 ) revealed highly significant mean squares for E, G, GCA (line), GCA (tester), and SCA (line × tester) for measured traits except for GCA (line), GCA (tester), and SCA (line × tester) mean squares for anthesis silking interval (ASI) and SCA (line × tester) mean squares for husk cover (HUSK) and ears per plant (EPP).

The effects of N application on root biomass showed a trend contradictory to that of shoot biomass in this experiment.

The same pattern was also observed in lutein, where a decreasing trend of lutein towards late MGs was observed, implying that early matured soybeans accumulate more lutein, which might be attributed to climatic conditions and lutein accumulation pattern in short-season soybean genotypes, which are naturally originated and distributed in high-latitude regions.
