Excerpts

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.

biochar made at 300°C, to a highly significant stimulation observed with AC and the three biochars derived from wood. 13 C NMR spectra showed that during pyrolysis all materials are subjected to a decrease of labile C molecular compounds, especially at high temperatures, and a relative increase of aromatic fractions.

Both IP and LP showed a decreasing trend from 15 to 20°C and increased when the temperature increased to 25°C.

In Experiment 1, highly significant interactions between genotypes and isolates; genotypes and temperature; and isolate and temperature were observed for incubation and latent periods.

The chilling duration did not show a clear trend on the aggressiveness of isolates inoculated on chickpea genotypes.

Highly significant positive correlations were found between germination and seed protein, oleic acid, sugars, and seed coat boron and seed coat lignin.

Furthermore, although the PS condition induced expression of the three Tr-KPI genes in the leaf tissue of Huia, in the root tissue only Tr-KPI5 was induced, where a significant increase at 53% and an increasing trend at 45.2 and 30.6% ( P -value 0.08 and 0.06, respectively) was observed when compared to the NPS treatment (Supplementary Figure 1D ).

In the PS treatment, a decreasing trend was observed for Tr-ACS1 and Tr-ACO2 while Tr-ACO1 displayed a significant increase at 30.6% moisture content (Supplementary Figure 2B ).

Longitudinal histological sectioning analysis showed a clear trend toward reduced cell volume in the KO plants, especially in the severe KO plants ( Figure 4A ).

A highly significant genotype × stage interaction was found for the viscosity of HB purees (Table 2 ).

However, the ANOVA comparing plant height and weight variables for the Douro biotypes were highly significant and numerically distinct.

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

Moreover, a set of highly significant correlations (see Supplementary Table S1 and Figure 4B ) between growth traits from Exp.1 and Exp.2 showed coordinated relationships between aerial and root growth.

In both trials, COMBINATION and PERFORMANCE-1, there was a slight trend to detect more H. bacteriophora in the combined treatment with AMF and/or bacterial inoculants (N2+B1+F1 and N2+BM, respectively) (Figures 3A,B ).

The number of declining trees showed an increasing trend since the 1960s and was still continuing at the time of sampling.

With an increase in the drought code, there was a decrease in average radial growth (Figure 2C ; r P = −0.288, p = 0.058) and an increase in transect basal area (Figure 2D ; r P = 0.293, p = 0.054) but these relationships were not quite significant.

The highly significant correlation ( R 2 = 0.99) between seed dry weight (separated from rachides) and panicle dry weight in the first year of experiment allowed this latter variable to be used to estimate the seed production of S and R plants.

poae was inoculated and we found highly significant correlations between the abundance of Fusarium taxa assessed by the two different methods in control and inoculated treatments ( Figures 3A,B ).

In our sample of T-DNA insertion lines in genes of 34 proteins found to interact with either CYP83A1 or CYP83B1, a considerable proportion showed a trend, some a significant increase in aliphatic glucosinolate levels under our experimental conditions (Figure 3 ).

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 top two markers, 3151996 ( in silico DArT) and 3103599_60:A > G (DArTSeq SNP) showed the highly significant association with -log 10 ( p ) score of ≥32.5, suggesting that these markers underlie the genomic region: BnMn 2+ .

For RDW, all of the effects (i.e., substrate, subspecies, and their interaction) were highly significant.

Focused on 12 central Corn Belt states, Kucharik (2006) found an overall trend for a 2-week earlier initiation of maize planting date in 2005 compared to early 1980s.
