Excerpts

The trends in Ca and Mg concentrations were similar, with an overall trend of increasing in the leaves and fluctuating downwards in the kernels.

ys in the period × total cumulative volume ) Cumulative relative rate = ( cumulative rate of increase in the next period − cumulative rate of increase in the previous period ) / | Cumulative volume growth in the next period | Results Dynamics of kernel weight Both fresh and dry kernel weight showed an increasing trend with slight fluctuations ( Figure 1 ).

The POD activity of ‘Lu He Hong’ showed a decreasing trend, while the SOD activity increased first and then decreased.

The SOD activity of Lu He Hong leaves increased first and then decreased with the extension of high temperature stress time, while Zhi Hong showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing ( Figure 3B ).

Under high temperature stress, the V J of ‘Lu He Hong’ showed an increasing trend, while φE0 decreased, indicating that the PQ pool had poor electron acceptance ability under high temperature stress, resulting in limited electron transfer ability of Q A from acceptor to Q B , thus the electron transfer from pheo to Q A resulted in Q A − , This eventually leads to a large accumulation of Q A − ( Kalaji et al., 2014b ) and a decrease in the efficiency of PSII electron transfer ( Öquist et al., 1992 ).

However, the CAT content in maize ( Zea mays ) first showed a trend of decreasing ( Table 3 ), then increasing and then decreasing with chromium treatment concentration which may be due to the iron porphyrin contained in the CAT structure, and the interaction between chromium and iron in the metabolic pool resulting a reduction in its activity.

When mustard ( Brassica juncea ) was treated with different concentrations of chromium, it was found that the activities of SOD, CAT, and APX in roots and leaves first increased and later decreased (Pandey et al., 2005 ; Hübner et al., 2010 ), while glutathione transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR) showed an increasing trend.

napus may be significant for future studies on the biological role of these miRNAs. 4.6 Structural and functional features of BnPA and BnPB proteins The predicted proteins of BnPA and BnPB genes were found to be variable and, differed in theprotein length of similar genes from A. thaliana and O. sativa .

heteroclada in the riparian zone, was higher in leaves under WS than that of CK, had greater variability in the branches under waterlogging, and displayed an increasing trend in the branch with an extension of the waterlogging time, while the stem N:P ratio under WS was lower than that of CK.

This was increased to ~0.5 with the addition of 29 highly significant SNPs as fixed effects.

The seed glycerolipids, including MGDG, DGDG, and SQDG, showed a decreasing trend from the beginning of CDT, until the 16th day of aging (C16).

All three nutrient concentrations also showed an increasing trend (17%, 22% and 25% respectively) in shoot biomass in phosphite treated plants compared to control treated plants.

(2015) also reported a highly significant correlation (r = 0.71) between FER and GER resistances.

With cold acclimation, the EL-LT50 showed a decreasing trend in the early overwintering period, demonstrating that the freezing tolerance of plants gradually increased, reaching maximum value in January.

During the overwintering period in 2021, the changes in the proline content of BLF treatment were similar to those in 2020, which also showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, while the proline content of CK was basically stable ( Figure 6D ).

ANOVA for single environments showed in all years of the survey a highly significant effect of genotype on the production of male cones at both sites ( Table 1 ).

We found there was extremely significant difference of GP between control and days 3 through 7 of treatment ( Figure S2 ).

As shown in Table 4 , the average speeds of the top, middle and bottom layers inside canopies were 3.22 m/s, 0.51 m/s and 0.10 m/s, respectively, with a decreasing trend from top to bottom.

Results Effect of SA treatment on fruit quality The weight loss of fruit showed an increasing trend during cold storage.

VcACL expression in control showed a decreasing trend at the early stage (before 12 days) and remain stableto 24 d ( Figure 4E ).

RhSOC1 , RhAGL19 , RhAGL22 , RhAGL24-2 , and RhAGL24-4 showed a trend of high expression in leaves ( Figure 4A ).

Significant or extremely significant correlations existed among the five fiber quality traits, especially fiber length, strength, uniformity and elongation all being significantly negative correlated with micronaire.

During the three stages of fruit growth, namely the core-hardening stage (S1), color-transformation stage (S2) and mature stage (S3), the contents of chlorophyll a (Chl a), chlorophyll b (Chl b) and total chlorophyll in parental, BF1 and HF1 fruits exhibited a decreasing trend with fruit ripening ( Figures 2A–C ).

The anthocyanin content of the female parent WP-1 showed an increasing trend with fruit growth, while that of the male parent XC showed a first decreasing and then increasing trend.

Also fruit production in the third year was estimated and showed a trend with a higher production when grown onto scions are grated onto 4x Swingle citrumelo.
