Excerpts

The reason for such a negative trend was because of the past selection toward grain yield and its favorable alleles, while no selection was performed for Zn/Fe trait in breeding programs.

After MeJA treatment, GhWRKY53 expression levels in both XLZ7 and ZZM2 showed a trend of first downregulation and then upregulation, and GhWRKY53 expression levels in both cotton varieties were significantly up-regulated at 48 h ( Figure 3D ).

The model is noticeably significant because the estimated statistical power is 100% with a size effect of 1.972652.

australis exhibited a decreasing trend under the severed treatment, although the differences were not significant.

The results indicated that the contribution rate of human activities to vegetation cover change showed an increasing trend in fluctuation, and the positive and negative contribution to present regular continuous alternating change law ( Figure 8 ).

Generally, the comprehensive index of ecosystem services shows an increasing trend, high-level ecological service areas are mainly distributed in the northeast, and the low-value areas are scattered in the middle and southwest, as shown in Figures 3 , 4 .

In the past 15 years, high-value areas of ecosystem services in the study area showed a trend of developing toward the southeast, while low-value areas have the characteristic of gathering toward the middle.

In addition, herbaceous plant diversity decreased with increasing time of revegetation and showed a highly significant negative correlation with carbon input, suggesting that dominant populations established by herbaceous plants through competitive exclusion had a positive effect on litter and fine roots.

As can be seen from Figure 7 , all four algorithms show a decreasing trend in accuracy rate as the recall rate increases.

A near-significant TstWt at the same marker for GWAS models, MLM, MLMM, and GLM as PHS resistance on chromosome 1B at 382 million base pairs (MBPs) was observed (data not shown).

A highly significant difference in DI was observed among the tested accessions, with the overall lowest DI detected in the red color cultivars, Outredgeous Selection, Red Splash Cos, Infantry, Sweet Valentine, Annapolis, and Velvet.

As fertilizer application rates increased, the ear grains and grain yield increased followed by a decreasing trend, reaching the maximum value under RM.

In this study, leaf RWC showed a decreasing trend with increasing exposure time to HT, which was in agreement with results reported in hyacinth bean ( Rai et al., 2015 ) and Festuca arundinacea ( Xu et al., 2007 ).

Compared with CK, the shoot biomass in the SFRu treatment significantly increased by 76.48%, and the root biomass of the SFRu treatment exhibited an increasing trend with no significant difference.

Moreover, the samples of different grape varieties were clearly distinguishable, indicating that the sugar composition and content among different grape varieties differed significantly, reaching a significant or extremely significant level.

In this study, the dynamic change in GMP content showed a trend of “high–low–high” from 7 DAA to the mature stage.

The p- values of the ATG nodes are all highly significant (mean of 0.01).

Leaf rotation In terms of the leaf rotation augmentation with respect to z axis, an increasing trend was observed for the stemwork segmentation F 1 score as the rotation range became larger ( Table 1 ).

Seedling recruitment exhibited a decreasing trend ( Figures 1B, E ).

Linear regression analysis was conducted on the nutrient resorption efficiency and the nutrient variation of plants from fresh petals to petal litter, and the nutrient resorption efficiency of petal N, P, and K showed an extremely significant positive correlation with the corresponding nutrient variation ( Figure 6 ).

While there were some differences in the concentrations of auxin and gibberellins at certain time points, they did not exhibit a clear trend of variation ( Supplementary Figure S4 ).

Metabolites in subclass 1 showed an increasing trend under LNNP, and the content of metabolites in subclass 3 tended to increase under NNLP and LNLP compared with NNNP, while subclass 4 metabolites showed a decreasing trend under LNLP, and those in subclasses 2 and 5 exhibited a decreasing trend under NNLP, LNNP, and LNLP in comparison to NNNP.

The gene expression level of cluster 1 gradually decreased along pseudotime, while clusters 2 and 3 showed an increasing trend ( Figure 6D ).

To verify the AI-powered trait analysis, we further evaluated the computational results with both manually scored spike number and yield production, resulting in highly significant correlations and thus the reliability of our phenotypic analysis pipeline.

3.3 Changes in grassland area and SOCS (0–100 cm) from 1982 to 2020 Chinese grassland area showed a decreasing trend between 1982 and 2020, with a decrease of 3.985 × 10 5 km2 ( Table 4 ).
