Excerpts

In this study, the JA content did not change much during the infection process, but exhibited a decreasing trend, suggesting that JA has little to do with resistance to P. viticola .

Chlorophyll showed an increasing trend from S1 to S5 ( Figures 2D,E ).

Several previous studies have documented that species with higher heat tolerance show an increasing trend in antioxidant enzyme activity in response to high-temperature stress, but susceptible species fail to do so.

The Genotypes × Treatment interaction for all traits was highly significant, suggesting that all parents and hybrids behaved differently under heat stress ( Table 2 ).

harmala seeds exhibited significant antibacterial activity against the causal pathogen of brown rot in potato with MIC of 4 at 300 μg/ml while the effect was moderately significant on the three other tested bacteria ( Shaheen and Issa, 2020 ).

The expression level of YUC4 was high during early stages of growth and development (S1–S3), but showed a decreasing trend in later stages (S4–S6), suggesting that this gene might play a role in immature tissues of C. sinense ovules.

sinensis leaves showed a decreasing trend over time.

However, in the BLs, there was an increasing trend in emergence with the accumulation of favorable alleles ( Figure 8A ).

Overall, the expression of ZmARF12 in the four inbred lines and their progenies exhibited a decreasing trend during the early stage of kernel fertilization ( Supplementary Figure 15 ).

Expression and Annotation of Genes Associated With Highly Significant Differentially Methylated Regions In general, the gene expression profile showed a pattern where a small proportion of the hybrids resemble gene expression of the peach control (‘Okinawa’) while a larger portion resembles the gene expression of the almond control (‘Carmel’).

A significant correlation between FW and fruit size traits (FH, FL, and FV) were found in 2018 and 2019, while the correlations between fruit size traits were extremely significant in 2019.

Regarding traits directly linked to seed yield, there was a decreasing trend for values of PPS, SN, and SW from GP1 (late maturing accessions) to GP4 (early maturing accessions; Figures 2H – J ).

For instance, the expression levels of all ZML genes showed a decreasing trend during fruit development and ripening processes.

The dry weight of root, leaves, and stem were positively correlated with the expression of BnaA10G0269200ZS and BnaC01G0465300ZS , and showed a trend of leaf dry weight > root dry weight > stem dry weight.

In accordance with our hypothesis, the flowering rates of the trees showed an increasing trend with the increase in chilling accumulation levels.

PC1 and PC2 indicated that CRS-38 and CRS-30 showed a highly significant correlation compared to the other two rhizobacterial strains in the mid stage with respect to PC2.

However, our results showed that pollinators mediated marginally significant selection for less flower production and smaller corolla size at the site with low soil water content in 2019.

To support the identification of candidate genes linked to markers significantly associated with mildew resistance, we performed domain enrichment analysis and observed highly significant enrichment of LRR domains in the identified significant regions as well as enrichment in other types of domains such as defensin, F-box-like domains among others ( Supplementary Table 3 ).

Furthermore, we observed a marginally significant accession-by-treatment interaction for biomass, suggesting different accessions tended to have different responses to the salt stress.

With the increase of trehalose dosage, the plant height and stem diameter of tomato initially showed an increasing trend and then a reducing trend.

The CAT activities of the ginger rhizomes treated with Si100 showed a decreasing trend during the storage period.

Faba Bean Yield The statistical analysis of faba bean yield in mixed cropping was performed separately for each year because of the highly significant heteroscedasticity of residual errors.

Here we found that 11 MoCDIP4 -homologous genes showed a trend of continuously upregulated expression following inoculation with M. oryzae ( Figure 8 ) and seven of them contain a signal peptide and AA9 CAZyme domain ( Supplementary Figure 6 ).

CTP, NVP, and CMP showed an increasing trend, while URP and KNP showed a decreasing trend relative to the baseline t 0 values.

multiflorum seedlings did not show a clear trend with varying concentrations of the three components.
