Excerpts

Specially, SNPs that are located in the stable QTL regions showed extremely significant difference between alleles ( Figure 4 ).

The drop occurred till stage III, beyond which the traits showed improvement, thereby producing a positive trend following irrigation.

The TR also showed a decreasing trend as the drought progressed, concordantly to the internal water depletion.

While some of the lines showed a flatter curve during drought, indicating their endurance, while others showed a trend parallel to the donor parent.

The beneficial effects of ethephon showed an increasing trend of yield as the plant density increased (Zhang et al., 2017 ).

In contrast, protocorms associated mainly with Mycena (OTU3) and in this case there was a highly significant, positive relationship between seed germination and the abundance of Mycena ( Figure 5 ), indicating that the local distribution of this fungus is the determining factor driving spatial patterns of seed germination.

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.

The LC-MS results showed that the ABA content continued to increase and reached an extremely significant level of enrichment at T2 and later periods of freezing treatment, with a 1.5–2-fold increase ( Figure 5B ).

In the embryo of imbibed seeds, there was a clear trend toward increasing PIP transcript accumulation, peaking in the seeds imbibed for 36 h (EM-36 h, radicle protrusion) ( Figure 3A ).

While the GB content of both tetraploid genotypes showed an increasing trend from the control to 15% PEG treatment, this trend was observed only in 5 and 10% PEG treatments in their diploid control genotypes.

Abscisic acid was detected in the form of abscisic acid (ABA) and ABA-glucosyl ester (ABA-GE), and the concentration of ABA showed a decreasing trend ( Figure 7B ).

However, a recent meta-analysis on phloem anatomical traits did not find a significant trend between growth rates and sieve tube resistance ( Liesche et al., 2017 ) but did find increased variability in taxonomic groups that actively load.

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.

The LP of the two species did not show a significant trend in N addition rate with the addition of various N compounds ( Figure 2 ).

Is Local Adaptation Mediated by DNA Methylation? (Hypothesis 2) We found a significant interaction of 5-azaC with home-away effects for biomass and marginally significant for survival (Temperature.Origin × Home × 5-azaC, Table 2B ).

(2009) also marked an increasing trend in the Western Australia wheat breeding program with the involvement of the CIMMYT lines.

In the test time range, under the 6-BA, H 2 O 2 , and NaCl treatments, the CcERF2 expression showed a trend of initial increase and then decrease; however, under GA 3 and SA treatment, CcERF2 expression showed an increasing trend.

Low to high negative correlations were observed between the spot blotch rAUDPC values and days to heading in the different panels that ranged between −0.18 and −0.66 and were highly significant at a p -value threshold of 0.001.

makinoi showed a decreasing trend from two times-a-week irrigation to full waterlogging, which suggests a lower competitiveness for light resource in Japanese white birch with increasing soil wetness.

Plant height, tiller number, productive tiller number, total dry matter, and harvest index showed a highly significant association to single plant yield in F 2 , F 3 , and F 4 .

et al., 2017 ), while there might be significant differences due to the content of these metabolites.

The correlation results ( Figure 7 ) showed that there was a highly significant positive correlation between the concentration of polyacetylene component atractylodin and sesquiterpene components atractylenolide II, β-eudesmol, and atractylon ( p < 0.01).
