Excerpts

Both wheat cultivars showed a trend of increasing grain K content with decreasing temperature under low-temperature treatment applied at the jointing stage, while the variation in the grain K content of both cultivars showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with decreasing temperature under low-temperature treatment during the booting stage and combined stages.

By contrast, the sucrose concentration in leaves showed a decreasing trend as the covering time increased.

When the auxin was NAA, the regeneration rate increased with increasing tZ concentration and the number of adventitious shoots also showed an increasing trend.

Except for zinc and manganese, all other micronutrients showed a decreasing trend in roots.

Analyses of the shoot and root content of nutrient ions beyond N species demonstrated an overall trend of similar or lower content of both anions and cations in the HiNH 4 + plants compared to the LoNH 4 + plants.

While the cellulose content showed a decreasing trend after stage II, total pectin content continued to increase during flower development.

Hexokinase I (HX-1) was also released, which might be significant considering the multiple lines of evidence, suggesting that plant mitochondrial hexokinases can modulate PCD through interactions with voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) proteins in the OMM ( Kim et al., 2006 ; Godbole et al., 2013 ).

In relation to chlorophyll a, all landraces showed a decreasing trend as D-mannitol increased ( Figure 2A ).

In relation to MDA content, landraces “751”, “747”and “746”showed an increasing trend as D-mannitol concentration increased, whereas MDA content in “748” landrace showed fluctuating values with a notable increase at - 0.24 and - 0.47 MPa and a decrease at - 0.73 MPa.

To test the effect of including highly significant GWAS hits as fixed effects in prediction models, the scheme outlined above was repeated for each trait with a slight modification: before fitting each prediction model, a GWAS model testing only additive effects was performed using just the training population from each iteration.

In the NIR region, leaf reflectance did not show a clear trend according to far-red addition.

In this study, we found an increasing trend for hexose and sucrose contents with increasing far-red fractions.

The chlorophyll content showed a decreasing trend with increasing far-red fraction, with FR09 (20.6 ± 0.8 μg per cm 2 , far-red fraction 0.04) containing the highest concentration and FR72 (far-red fraction 0.21) the lowest concentration (14.8 ± 0.9 μg per cm 2 ).

The effect of leaf age on photosynthetic parameters was consistently highly significant ( Table 4 ).

Interestingly, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing during the cultivation process, while the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes showed an opposite trend (decreasing first and then increasing).

The metabolomics results showed that significant changes of the of metabolite composition were observed in the rhizosphere soil, and the relative abundances of some beneficial metabolites showed a decreasing trend.

The relative abundances of beneficial microorganisms decreased, while the relative abundances of harmful microorganisms showed an increasing trend.

KNI followed an overall trend of decreasing first and then increasing during plant growth ( Figure 7 ). 4.

For most of the treatments, nitrogen contents initially showed a trend of decreasing with an increase in soil depth and then increasing in deep layers. 3.2 Response of crop growth indicators to different treatments Data presented in Figures 6 , 7 represent the seasonal changes in winter wheat growth characteristics (leaf area index and plant height) during the 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 growing seasons under various irrigation scheduling, nitrogen application, and lateral spacing regimes.

Interestingly, an increasing trend of hyperoside, neohesperidin, kaempferol 3-neohesperidoside, genistin, eriocitrin, and luteolin flavonoids was observed in sour orange after 12DDS and 18DDS, whereas the opposite trend was observed in lemon plants ( Figure 3 ).

These results showed that the aforementioned flavonoids have some significant roles in SO drought tolerance because these flavonoids showed an increasing trend in SO, in response to drought stress, whereas in drought-susceptible lemon, these flavonoids showed a decreasing trend in response to drought stress. 3.5.

Similarly, the response of total P showed an increasing trend and ranged from 171.90 to 465.34 mg kg −1 .

In contrast, in cultivar B a slightly significant (0.070) difference was found between the triploids, which decreased and the tetraploids, which increased compared to diploids ( Figure 1A ).

On the other hand, we recorded negative covariations between ITV and ST for CWM_LN and CWM_LN: LP under N and P addition, suggesting there were contrasting trends through ST and ITV, leading to weakening responses a decreasing trend of these leaf traits at the community level following nutrient addition ( Siefert and Ritchie, 2016 ).

tangutorum were fundamentally demonstrated as a possible response to the groundwater table, showing a highly significant positive correlation with the groundwater burial depth ( Dong et al., 2019 ).
