Excerpts

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.

An evident trend indicating an increasing accumulation pattern of phenolics from vegetative stage to flowering, followed by a decrement towards the seed ripening and plant senescence was achieved.

With the increase in roasting time, aroma I generally showed a decreasing trend followed by an increasing trend; aroma II appeared to have a decreasing trend; aroma III presented a growing trend followed by a decreasing trend; the total relative content of aroma IV fluctuated and was significantly lower than that of the unbaked tea sample at baking times of 2 h, 6 h, and 7 h ( Figure 4 ).

Interestingly, while no changes were observed in root fresh or dry weight ( Figure 3 B and Figure S1 ), there was a clear trend (although not statistically significant) in the shoot and total plant fresh weight at 25 mM and 175 mM NaCl versus control.

speciosa For ptDNA, the neutrality tests turned out to be non-significant ( Table S3 ); however, negative values close to significance were registered for the Azores region.

Correlations among Traits All measured traits except PV showed highly significant positive correlations between means recorded under control and heat conditions in 2007 ( Figure 2 , upper triangle).

The relationship between SP and FSET showed a negative trend under control conditions, which was significant only in 2007; in the heat field, such a relationship was lost ( Figure 3 c,d).

The thickness of the albedo in Citrus × limon is both relatively and absolutely significantly lower than the thickness of the albedo in Citrus maxima ( Section 2.1 ).

The mean squares of GCA and SCA were highly significant for all studied traits under both well-watered and stressed conditions.

An increasing trend in uronic acid proportion in the hemicellulose I, hemicellulose II, and cellulose fractions was observed for both species in response to increasing salt concentration.

There was a marginally significant interaction of altitude and land-use type on soil moisture, where the grazing-induced reduction in moisture is greater in higher (−11.53%) than lower (−6.19%) altitude ( p < 0.1, Figure 2 B).

ANOVA showed highly significant effects of genotypes for all traits at both stations.

In our research, the location effect was highly significant ( Table 2 ).

Similarly, the flavonoid content significantly increased ( p < 0.01) in the shoots of plants treated with different concentrations of Ce, but only a slightly significant enhancement was observed in the roots of the plants exposed to the 10 μM dose of Ce when compared to the untreated plants ( Figure 4 D).

For Na + , a negative trend was found between root growth and salt tolerance.

The values of roundness showed a trend opposed to the aspect ratio, being comprised between 0.45 ( S. inaperta ) and 0.86 ( S. pseudoatocion ). 2.2.

A decreasing trend of net NH 4 + influx was observed for T . distichum with an increase in the NH 4 + proportion ( Figure 5 a).

Moreover, with 9 unique gene sets from LAS (all downregulated) and 32 from HAS (9 upregulated and 23 downregulated), an overall trend of downregulated expression was observed.

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).
