Excerpts

Quality of the Fruits The TSS content of berries was 5.4% greater in DF and NaCl than those of the TRASPBIO treatment ( Figure 7I ) and showed an increasing trend up to 30 days after the first harvest, then decreased.

The concentrations of K + showed a decreasing trend in all treatments, but the lowest concentration was recorded in the SP10 100 DAT, mainly because of the lower concentrations in fruits and pruned leaves (data not shown).

Research done on the rhizosphere of the pea plant has shown that incredibly significant differences in the rhizosphere microbial community may be occurring at the domain or kingdom level where the pea plant supports a higher eukaryotic population compared to prokaryotes ( Turner et al., 2013 ).

Consequently, as occurs with Ca 2+ ions, the BA transport by the apoplastic flux at sites may be significant where lateral roots penetrate the endodermis.

Solute content showed only few statistically significant differences between the regions (Table 3 , Figure 3B ), and a decreasing trend with increasing sample age (Table 3 ).

A marginally significant correlation was found between density and protein content of the seeds from NaCl salinized soil under low fertilization.

These findings are highly significant, given that BAK1 is a key component in various plant-biotic interactions, including the recently discovered resistance to aphids ( Prince et al., 2014 ).

These shifts in the crop biochemical balance translated into a highly significant increase in the aboveground C:N ratio following exposure to an eCO 2 environment, largely driven by the cultivar most resistant to herbivory (Glen Clova; Table 1 ).

Total fresh weight was borderline significant at the end of the trial, and the fresh weight/dry weight ratio differed significantly between ploidy levels ( Table 2 ; Figure 2 ).

The diurnal trend of leaf water potential shows a decreasing trend of water potential during the day.

The abundance level of all the other proteins was between these two ranges and was highly significant with P -values assigned by PLGS tool.

On the other hand, “replicates” was a highly significant factor explaining most of the total variation (58%) in wild samples (for both infected and uninfected samples; ANOVA, p -value: 0.004; Supplementary Figure S5C ).

Why biomass decreases under drought stress Our results indicated an extremely significant decrease in dry weight on the 28th day.

When this relationship was explored in the full metabolomics dataset (all 1181 spectral clusters), a significant trend was also observed (Figure 8B ).

Shikimic and chlorogenic acid are potential mediators of carbon assimilation, growth rate, and final dry biomass phenotypes in sorghum An interesting trend was observed between photosynthesis, growth rates, and final dry biomass.

In general, Ψ pd showed an increasing trend with increasing soil temperature ( Figure 7 ), which was also found at the sub-alpine Smith fir sites (data not shown).

The rest of PE lipid species, except 36:2, 38:2, and 38:3 lipids, showed more or less significant increase both in drought and after re-hydration.

These results showed that CsAP3 can selectively bind the promoter of CsETR1 , but not CsETR2 or CsERS , suggesting that such binding might be significant in function.

IAA content showed a decreasing trend at these DADS concentrations (Figure 5 ).

Quantitative Traits All 16 quantitative traits showed very highly significant differences among the RIL’s for practically all the studied characters, providing strong evidence for the important diversity generated within the Pop39 and highlighting the relevant discriminating power of the variables used.

However, highly significant correlations were also observed in the case of cereals particularly when considered separately (Figure 1 ).

The effect of low pH and Al-supply on tissue micronutrient concentrations was highly significant (Table 6 ).

Auxin has a highly significant effect on callus and plantlet production.

We found that T6 had a highly significant effect on the content of soluble sugar and protein in wheat seedlings either under salt stress or non-saline conditions.

megaterium (V16) without added N-fertilizer at 30, 60, or 90 DAP caused highly significant increases in plant height compared to untreated control without N-fertilizer ( Table 6 ).
