Growth reduction due to WD was marginally significant in Cvi-0 ( P = 0.083), and not significant in Mt-0, Bay-0, Ler-1 and Est-1, which are accessions the most tolerant to WD ( Figure 4B ).

However, in the experiment at the continental scale, the presence/absence of the bacteria was marginally significant for an effect on the relative plant growth ( p = 0.083) and we observed the following trend: when the virus was absent, the presence of the bacteria limited plant growth, while in presence of the virus, the opposite was found (Figure 3B ).

For irreversible bending rate, on the other hand, because of much greater variation in the data a difference between hardwoods and softwoods was only marginally significant (mean for hardwoods 2.30 ± 0.286 % per h and for softwoods 1.13 ± 0.083; 1-way ANOVA, F 1,197 = 3.0343, P = 0.0831).

However, females tended to have a higher growth rate after cutting, although the interaction between cutting and gender was only marginally significant ( P = 0.085; Table 3 and Supplementary Table S2 ).

Pairwise comparisons revealed a significant difference between conventional and organic bogs at the 5% level (p = 0.026), and a marginally significant difference between conventional and wild bogs at the 10% level (p = 0.087).

The genotype × parental treatment interaction effect was significant for total leaf area and mean single-leaf area ( Table 1 , p = 0.0292 and 0.0536, respectively), and the genotype × offspring treatment interaction effect was significant or marginally significant for all traits ( Table 1 , 0.0283 ≤ p ≤ 0.0879).

A similar observation (though only marginally significant, with p = 0.088) was made also for the data set as a whole, but the slopes were not significantly different between mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants of M. sativa ( p = 0.30).

Specifically, total leaf area in arugula and stem length in romaine lettuce showed significant three-way interactions, and stem length of arugula was also interactively regulated by these environmental factors with marginal significance ( p = 0.0880) ( Figure 3 ).

A marginally significant correlation between pairwise F ST and geographic distance (r = 0.45, p = 0.088; Supplementary Table 4 ; Supplementary Figure 3 ) suggested weak isolation-by-distance. 3.2.

However, this result was only marginally significant ( F -test, p = 0.089, Supplementary Table S5 ) and once again the statistical significance was lost at 28 dpa ( Supplementary Table S6 ), even though the ratio in expression levels remained at approximately 10:1.

Of the three remaining metabolic classes, “Energy metabolism (EM)” showed borderline significant enrichment (1.217-fold, adjusted p -value = 0.09), while “Lipid metabolism (LM)” and “Glycan biosynthesis and metabolism (GBM)” showed no discernable enrichment (Table 2 ).

Furthermore, trees from the white sand forest had marginally significant (p = 0.09) slower leaf traits compared to trees from the river terrace, and this relationship was more evident (p = 0.04) in isoprene non-emitters.

HTR analysis identified many genomic regions that were not detected with individual SNP-based SLMM and MLMM approaches and showed highly significant SNP associations (−log 10 P-value = 10.43–19.15) for AB resistance, accounting for moderate to high phenotypic variation (19.95–25.39%, Table 3 ).

The exotic allele also increased single grain weight, thousand kernel weight, spike number, and biomass with a significant increase in single grain weight in NIL pair 3 (p ≤ 0.001, 12.2%), thousand kernel weight in NIL pair 3 and 4 (p = 0.023, 2.9–11.0%), and biomass in NIL pair 1 (p = 0.013) and marginally significant differences in NIL pair 3 (p = 0.093).

Herbivore-mediated selection on flowering start date was detected in populations 4 (marginally significant, Δβ herb ± SE = 0.13 ± 0.102, P = 0.094), 5 and 6 ( Figure 3B , Supplementary Figures 2A,B,C , and Supplementary Table 6 ).

However, both treatments resulted in on-average increases to yield ( Figure 1A ), which included a marginally significant 1.17-fold increase for BC1 (p = 0.097), and a significant 2.22-fold increase for BC2 (p = 0.003).

In Gacyacyari (local variety), only marginally significant (p< 0.1) increases of δ 13 C were found for soluble sugar in the YFEL and cellulose in lower leaf for plants under water deficit.

Several crop parameters showed consistent positive responses to the humic product that were not quite significant at P ≤ 0.10 but would have been significant at less stringent thresholds.

RUE from InB to A7 only correlated marginally significant with the predictions of canopy A sat at A7 ( R 2 = 0.13, p < 0.1).

Over the study period, the river runoff of six river basins decreased with marginal significance (0.05 < P < 0.10, which is a confidence level close to significance) from 1982 to 2015, except for the Fen river basin ( P = 0.65) ( Pritschet et al., 2016 ) ( Figure 3 and Supplementary Figure 2 ).

Several crop parameters showed consistent responses to the humic product that were not quite significant at P < 0.10 but would have been significant at less stringent thresholds.

This model was used to test for significant ( p = 0.05 threshold) and marginally significant ( p = 0.1 threshold) differences in the following traits: φCO 2 max, app , φCO 2 max, abs , φCO 2 max, abs PSII , 1/ k , α , A sat , R d , and F v /F m .

The linear regressions were considered significant when P < 0.05 and marginally significant when P < 0.1.

In the case of the CO 2 experiment, a t-test conducted at the final harvest revealed that the actual shoot dry mass for the two treatments was only marginally significant (P = 0.10).

In contrast, several variables showed marginally significant trends (0.05 < P < 0.10): soil pH ( P = 0.071; Figure 3b ), non-photochemical quenching ( P = 0.082; Figure 3e ), legume abundance ( P = 0.077; Figure 3i ), and species richness ( P = 0.082; Figure 3m ) all exhibited slight non-linear trajectories.
