Combining Ability for Carotenoids The female and male main effects (GCA) and interaction of each with the environment were highly significant for most of the measured carotenoids ( Table 1 ).

There is no significant relationship between CV of yield and mean yield, but there is a highly significant relationship between CV of yield and maximum yield ( Figures 2C , D ).

Response of Wheat Breaking Strength to Light Quality in Population The results, as shown in Table 3 , indicated that both varieties showed a decreasing trend in folding resistance from the flowering to the waxing stage.

Response of Wheat Stem Dry Weight per Length to Light Quality in Population Dry weight per length in the wheat stem of both varieties showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing from anthesis to dough stage.

The mixed model only contained climate, competition, and site index, while age was not considered because it is an inherent factor and followed a highly significant logarithmic relationship with Log BAI ( Figure S2 ).

Consistent with the highly significant correlations between DF and PH, major QTL on the LG A07 were identified as common QTL for both the traits, with Varuna contributing the positive alleles for taller plants and delayed flowering.

Exogenous application of DE-GRSP, however, almost significantly decreased root total length, surface area, and volume compared to the control, with increasing DE-GRSP strength, except that there was no difference in root volume between 1⁄4 DE-GRSP and the control.

On the other hand, exogenous DE-GRSP application showed a decreasing trend on root IAA and IBA content.

Correlation coefficients between agronomic traits, VIs, and LAI were calculated ( Figure 2 ), showing highly significant coefficients among agronomic traits as yield with NGm 2 ( r = 0.90) and PH ( r = −0.71).

ANOVA revealed highly significant variability for grain yield and micronutrient traits.

The quadratic equation further improved the relationship ( R 2 = 0.7942) and it indicates an increasing trend for PH in the recently released varieties.

The RRGS experiment conducted in Wohlde and Adenstedt showed the highest correlations with the HYWHEAT experiments with a decreasing trend toward Mintraching, Sossmar, Boehnshausen, and Hadmersleben.

Moreover, the disease severity showed an increasing trend from heading to the maturity stage.

Clustered PCA-vectors and highly significant Pearson correlations of methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, and acetone illustrate strong co-emission patterns among OVOCs.

4 Results Plant Morphological and P Uptake Genotype and P level had an highly significant effect on the height of eight peach rootstocks, and there was a significant effect between genotype and P level on the height ( p< 0.05; Figure 1A ).

Additionally, with the increase of salt concentration, shoot DW, root DW, and the increasing rate of plant height all showed a trend of reduction, while the specific leaf area did not show any significant change ( P > 0.05).

The peroxidase (POD) showed an increasing trend under salt stress.

The GWAS analysis in the Combined, Indica , and Japonica populations under HNT stress identified 83, 60, and 803 highly significant SNPs associated with PL, compared to the 30, 30, and 11 highly significant SNPs associated with NSP.

The expression levels of RgWRKY35 and RgWRKY37 genes showed a highly significant increase after SA treatment, while the expression levels of RgWRKY37 increased by 10.45-fold–19.03-fold, and RgWRKY35 increased by 23.92-fold–69.27-fold.

The KNI exhibited a decreasing trend at the early stage and then an increasing trend at the latter stage.

There was a decreasing trend of K leaf with increasing RDM of sweet potato.

Unlike chlorophyll content, the Car content of different stresses showed an increasing trend with the decrease of water potential, but the differences among the three stresses were not significant ( P ≥ 0.05; Figure 4D ).

Total anthocyanin content showed an increasing trend by development stage, while the total flavonol and proanthocyanidin content decreased ( Figure 2A ).

During flower development, the contents of K and Q glucosides display an increasing trend, especially when their content exceeds that in the second leaf in the flower bud at S6.

Thus, we deduced although anthocyanin content in the control group might be higher than the treatment group sometimes, the extremely significant effect of ABA on anthocyanins accumulation in late maturity stage was not affected.
