Excerpts

The ANOVA showed a highly significant field effect on growth and yield data and also an interaction between the field and year for seed weight ( Table 2 ).

Moreover, a highly significant negative correlation was observed between copy number and female indices, suggesting that an increased copy number at Rhg1 is indicative of greater resistance to SCN.

The increase in maize yield upon nitrogen addition was the highest in Gansu Province, and showed a decreasing trend with the rise in average annual temperature, but did not change significantly with the average annual precipitation.

This study showed that with the increase of nitrogen application, the yield increase effect of maize showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing, and the highest value of the yield increase effect appeared in the nitrogen application of 175–225 kg·ha -1 .

With increasing soil AK content, the yield-increasing effects of nitrogen application showed an increasing trend, and the maximum yield-increasing effect [53.50% (95% CI, 47.09%–60.35%)] was noted at ≥ 170 mg·kg -1 .

The results indicated a decreasing trend in the water content of both the above-ground and underground parts as R. cordifolia grew from April to October ( Figures 2F, H ).

Based on the results shown in Tables 2 , 3 , there is a clear trend that model performance, as measured by mIoU, generally improves with an increase in the number of parameters.

For both two types of leaves, both Pro, Arg, and TAA showed an increasing trend during the FL and a decreasing trend during the YF-FS, suggesting that fruit-setting in citrus significantly affects amino acid content.

In this study, as the PEG-6000 concentration increased, RWC showed a decreasing trend to varying degrees, consistent with previous research findings ( Altaf et al., 2021 ).

The number of DEGs that were co-expressed at both the transcriptomic and proteomic levels showed an increasing trend under salt stress as germination time increased.

With regard to root development, the expression of IbGRAS44 exhibited an increasing trend in the Xuzi3 variety, but a decreasing trend in the Yan252 variety.

In this study there was a highly significant difference in CP content between the two alfalfa varieties, and the crude CP content of the Chuancao No.7 was 23.56%, indicating agreement with the criteria for good forage quality established by American Forage and Grassland Council USDA ( Figure 3D ) ( Rohweder et al., 1978 ).

During the winter wheat season, correlation analyses between soil physicochemical characteristics and bacterial taxa revealed that SOM correlates positively with most bacterial groups, particularly showing highly significant positive relationships with Latescibacterota, and significant positive relationship with NB1j, Methylomirabilota, Myxococcota, and Acidobacteriota (p < 0.05).

Effect of seed treatment with chitosan on final germination percentage of bitter gourd plants under saline conditions The analysis of variance regarding final germination percentage of bitter gourd plants under saline conditions showed highly significant effects for all treatments.

As the training proceeds, the loss decreases significantly, and the evaluation metrics δ1 rises, RMSE and ABS-REL show a decreasing trend, indicating that the depth information predicted by the model is getting closer and closer to the depth captured by the depth camera.

Conversely, the relationship between organic fertilizer amount applied and pumpkin yield exhibited an initial increasing trend, followed by a decreasing trend, indicating the existence of an optimal fertilization level.

In Figure 5A , the number of bands gradually decreases and stabilizes, while Figure 5B shows a decreasing trend followed by an increase.

The change in the AsA content of grape seedling leaves in the EBR, BRZ, and EBR + BRZ groups showed a trend that was the same as the CK group.

The four treatment groups showed a decreasing trend in Pn.

There was an overall decreasing trend, followed by an increasing trend, and then decreasing Chl a, Chl b, and Chl total contents in the leaves of the CK, BRZ, and EBR + BRZ groups.

In general, compared to no-fertilization treatment, the application of N and P fertilizers resulted in increased plant height, stem thickness, crude protein, and ether extract of alfalfa, while neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) exhibited a decreasing trend.

In this study, CP of alfalfa showed an increasing trend at low and medium fertilizer levels but a decreasing trend at high fertilizer levels.

Under the same N treatment, an increase in P application showed a trend of initially increasing the cumulative yield and then decreasing overtime.

And two pairs of species showed highly significant negative correlation, Gentiana macrophylla with Stipa capillata and Potentilla nivea .

Specifically, NDVI (1 and 2) readings and δ 15 N exhibited a decreasing trend.
