Excerpts

In fact, the Tests of Fixed Effects ( Table A1 , Table A2 and Table A3 ) indicate a non-significant effect for ‘trt’ (as expected, because the intercept was always 0 by design, since only non-germinating seeds were used for the experiment) and a highly significant effect for ‘trt * spltime’, which means that what the treatments caused in this experiment was not a vertical shift of an overall curvilinear trend (assessed at time = 0, since ‘trt’ is modelled in terms of a separate intercept for each treatment when a spline effect is present), but rather a change of its shape.

Catalase activity (CAT) presented a highly significant decrease when salt concentrations increase; nevertheless, at 400 mM NaCl, the non-inoculated plants did not display a significant reduction ( Figure 5 A).

Contrarily ascorbate peroxidase activity (APx) exhibited an increasing trend through salt treatments without significant differences between inoculated and non-inoculated plants ( Figure 5 B).

It is worth mentioning here that all the doses are highly significant among the groups.

Similar to the other inoculated plants, there was an increasing trend of bacterial inhibition with the increasing amounts of the applied OBEO.

There was an increasing trend of inhibition of microbial growth from initial application to 15 days after application, and no inhibition was found after 15 days after application (DAA) to harvest [ 48 ].

The antioxidant activities showed an increasing trend in all methods as the concentrations of the extracts increased.

All biochemical attributes were observed in the same quadrant, and ANOVA results showed an increasing trend due to temperature drop.

The NSC content in both IAS showed a trend that mirrored the pattern observed for St.

Similarly, highly significant correlations have been found between the TPs and TAC DPPH or TAC FRAP in other studies [ 10 , 11 , 13 , 18 ].

The firmness of both groups shows a decreasing trend during the shelf life period in Figure 2 B,C.

High levels of S supply demonstrated a clear trend of increasing total chloroplast lipid content and concentrations of linolenic acid, in addition to a further decline in palmitic acid.

Compared with CK, the content of Chla, Chlb, Car, and total Chl under the H treatment showed an increasing trend over time ( Figure 2 ), and the figure shows that the Chla, Chlb, Car and total Chl content of the 3 treatments (H, HD, and HDS) under high-temperature stress from the 2nd day of H treatment was significantly higher than CK.

Effect of Exogenous Spermidine and D-arg on the Endogenous Polyamine Content of Lettuce under High-Temperature Stress In Figure 3 a, the free Spd content under high-temperature stress was significantly higher than the free Spd content under CK on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th days, and the free Spd content in the HD treatment showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing with the extension of the stress time.

The transgenic root tips and the control root tips treated with a K + deficiency solution showed a trend of obvious K + influx, and the amplitude of the transgenic root tip influx was significantly higher than that of CK.

The difference between the two genotypes was extremely significant, and the flowering period of the mutated materials was significantly earlier ( Figure 7 C).

Additionally, wildtype roots showed a trend toward strong NBT staining in response to 10 μM proline, but the difference was not significant ( Figure 1 C).

In the grapes of Castelão and Moscatel, a clear trend for Ca accumulation was not found when increasing concentrations of both fertilizers were applied.

The correlations between traits were extremely significant ( Table 2 and Table 3 ). 2.2.

DMA showed a trend of “slow–fast–slow” growth process.

This study showed great variation among accessions in terms of the traits of importance and agronomic yield; however, a slightly significant variation was observed in leaf yield.

Because the RcYABBY1 expression level had an increasing trend from P1 to P5, especially in the first three leaf development periods, we speculated that RcYABBY1 may encode a protein with an important function during the initial establishment of leaf morphology.

In this case, the state of maturity was also highly significant (25.9% of the total variance), with the late flowers possessing a higher amount of TFC, independently of species.

Additionally, the changes in soluble protein content basically displayed a decreasing trend under various hormone treatments. 3.7.

A trend of first rising and then falling was seen in soluble protein content, but the content of chlorophyll and malondialdehyde did not show a clear trend ( Figure 6 b–d).
