The highly significant correlation between GQFS and chromosomal translocation breakpoints in cancers demonstrates the biological relevance of G4-associated genome instability in mammalian cells.

This effect of rainfall exclusion on the more integrative δ 13 C-derived iWUE was, however, less evident in instantaneous gas exchange measurements, which only showed marginally significant differences between treatments in A and g s .

The activity of these two enzymes shows an increasing trend with increased N applications within a certain range, thus, they enhance the accumulation of photoproduct and transshipment; however, the activity of SPS decreases when the N is excessively applied, which can explain observed decreases in the number of kernel per ear and TKW ( Shen et al., 2007 ; Li et al., 2012 ), leading to low GY ( Table 1 and Supplementary Figure S1 ).

As for K + contents, the NaCl treatment led to a significant drop or slight decline in the roots of empty vector-transformed or PgTIP1- transformed composite plants, respectively, but K + contents in the stems and leaves of both soybean plants showed an increasing trend, and those of PgTIP1- transformed plants were evidently higher than the empty vector-transformed plants ( Figure 3B ).

The expression of these genes in the RIT of ‘Royalty’ showed a slight decrease and then increased with rust development, whereas their expression levels followed an increasing trend in ‘Flame.’ The expression of McNCED, McACS , and McLOX in the NIT and CK showed a significant increase with the expansion of spots in the two cultivars.

The best-fit analysis reported in Figure 1 shows a highly significant exponential decay of Iso i with increasing g s ( Figure 1A ), because drought stress strongly enhances Iso i for g s < 200 mmol m -2 s -1 , whereas Iso i is unresponsive to higher g s .

Highly significant correlation ( r = 0.63–0.85) for MDS were also observed in the Avocet × Quaiu#3 population across environments.

It also showed a trend for increase in the red fruit in the coloring stages.

The main effects of N treatment and harvest on belowground N mass were also highly significant.

An increasing trend of CAT and APX enzyme activities in the leaves of CL were observed from day 8 to day 15 ( Figures 8B,C ).

Seed Germination, Embryo Viability, and Seedling Survivorship Seed Germination Temperature had a highly significant effect on MTG for both species ( Table 3 ), seeds germinated about two-fold faster under warmer conditions ( Figures 1 , 2A,B ).

QTL for organic acids on chromosome 8 in SC NILs Two NILs detected in CDM, SC8-1 and SC8-2, showed both significantly reduced citrate (0.59 and 0.70 mg g −1 , corresponding to 78 and 74% reduction, respectively) and a highly significant increase in malate content (1.76 and 1.73 mg g −1 , corresponding to 252 and 246% increase).

In both growing conditions, a highly significant correlation was obtained with correlation coefficients of 0.94 and 0.85, respectively ( Figure 6 ).

The same trait correlations were highly significant and positive for MTS (0.335 in DC2), SL (0.761 in DC1), RSL (0.779 in DC2), and RSDW (0.795 in DC2) under Fe and Zn stress.

A highly significant QTL ( qSE11 ), which had been predicted for the NIL ( qSE11 XB ), was confirmed on the long arm of chromosome 11.

Though tree species was the only significant factor in root phosphatase activity, there was a negative trend between soil P availability and phosphatase activity in linear regressions of average root phosphatase and resin P.

In SF habitat, we found that the slope of the relationship between VM number and plant biomass was no different from 1, whereas that of RM number was marginally significant less than 1 ( Table 2 ).

The total flavonol content showed an increasing trend for “CS,” but a declining trend for “Riesling.” It has been suggested that kaempferol-type, quercetin-type, and isorhamnetin-type flavonols are generally present in both red and white grapes, while myricetin-type flavonol and its derivatives are only accounted for in V. vinifera red grapes, which is in agreement with the present study ( Castillo-Muñoz et al., 2007 , 2010 ).

littoralis larvae fed on GLS-containing plants showed a trend in the 5th and 6th instar toward higher pre-molting weight than no GLS-fed larvae.

Three weeks after re-transfer to LD following 8 weeks of SD ( Figures 4e – h ), the cell walls in the crown structure of the breaking buds appeared to have similar or possibly a slight trend of increased levels of JIM7 HG epitopes as compared to after 8 weeks of SD ( Figures 4h,i ).

The results of variance analysis indicated highly significant differences in the PEL trait among the 66 CSSL lines.

Unpacking the relative importance of substrate and physiognomy and their interaction on our two measures of phylogenetic structure, analysis of variance showed that vegetation physiognomy was highly significant in explaining variation in NTI, while substrate and physiognomy were of equal importance (each only marginally significant) in explaining variation in NRI.

Nowadays an increasing trend in society is health consumerism, for example functional drinks with cherry extracts rich in bioactive compounds (Sun-Waterhouse, 2011 ).

The productivity of wet meadows within partially regulated lakes showed an increasing trend to around Nov 2006, but the elevated EVI values decreased gradually to the end of the study period.

AHb1 mRNA levels showed an increasing trend with AR, and a significant increase from 0wkAR to 2wkAR by RT-qPCR analysis ( Figure 8C and Supplementary Figure 12 ).
