Excerpts

The relative LYM% lymphocyte count in the experimental groups differed from baseline statistically insignificant, with a decreasing trend in group F and an increasing trend in group D.

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.

According to our findings, TMV infection caused a highly significant increase in lipid peroxidation as assessed by MDA.

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 ).

That the growth was impacted to a greater extent than the net carbon assimilation is not surprising; a small change in photosynthesis over time can result in highly significant reductions in biomass.

Interestingly, the highly significant increase in gene expression of SOS1 (45-fold) could drive defense machinery of broad bean to counteract 200 mM NaCl.

Results recorded a significant increase in STI of all morphological traits with vermicompost treatments in salt-stressed broad bean plant (2.5 and S, 5 and S in addition to 10% VC and S) with the highest increase at 10% VC salt-stressed plants, whereas 15% VC and S showed a decreasing trend.

For all the tested weed species, highly significant differences in growth parameters were recorded across varying soil moisture regimes ( Table 2 , Table 3 and Table 4 ).

Nevertheless, a decreasing trend of the element content was generally observed passing from the distal to the proximal bag of each triplet (i.e., the proximal bag generally up-took lower amounts) ( Figure 5 ). 2.4.

Thus, despite the different target of the two techniques—ICP-MS aims at quantifying multiple elements, whereas SIRM is sensitive only to the magnetizable fraction of PM, mainly iron oxides like hematite, magnetite and maghemite with incorporated trace elements—both techniques show a clear trend, with higher element fluxes in bags farther away to the handlebar of the bicycle and thus closer to the ground.

During low-temperature storage, the different treatments had a significant effect on the L* and b* values of the mangoes ( p < 0.05), with a decreasing trend.

Trading in local plant genetic diversity for securing better yields should be mentioned as a negative trend in Bulgarian rural home gardens.

[ 22 ] showing a decreasing trend with increased N application rates, whereas NUpE increased up to certain N application rates and then decreased.

However, NUpE did not follow the same patterns (though only marginally significant) and was higher at the 0 kg ha −1 N rate and lower at the 150 kg ha −1 N rate.

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 ).

Saline soils occupy about 8% of the planet’s surface with an increasing trend [ 1 ].

In addition, highly significant differences were obtained for five salinity tolerance indices and between treatments as well.

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

There is a clearly significant correlation with yield (r = −0.95), pH (r = −0.88) and Ntot (r = 0.71) on the PC2 axis.

Glucose had a highly significant positive correlation with fructose ( r = 0.87) and sucrose was positively correlated, though not higher in value, with glucose ( r = 0.52) and fructose ( r = 0.46) ( Figure 1 ). 2.2.

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