Moreover, with increasing MAT, leaf K had an increasing trend, but increasing MAP showed an opposite trend in QT. 2.4.

The a* values of the juices during both heat treatment and four months storage ( Table 3 ) showed a general decreasing trend while b* values presented an increasing trend (decrease in redness and blueness), probably as a result of the anthocyanin losses resulting from the degradative processes.

[ 13 ] observed that p -CUA had a decreasing trend with increasing N levels; moreover they also found that FRA, p -CUA, and VA were improved when N fertilizer ranged between 180 kg N ha −1 and 300 kg N ha −1 ; Stumpf et al.

Additionally, antioxidant capacity (AOC) showed an increasing trend as germination went on, ranging from a 1.2- to 11.0-fold increase in ABTS-based assay in sprouts and wheatgrass, respectively (compared to seeds) ( Table 2 ).

A decreasing trend in the growth of the plants was evident from the low-density treatment to the high-density treatment ( Figure 3 b).

In ‘Xiangfei’, it decreased and then increased sharply with a high expression at grape ripening, while in ‘Zaomeiguixiang’, it showed an increasing trend and then a continuous decrease with a very low expression in the ripening stage.

Nucleosides mostly decreased, while for other compounds an increasing trend was observed for the phenolic acid chicoric acid, and for choline and ethanolamine, the latter doubling its quantity, in contrast to chlorogenic acid that almost halved.

They also found a decreasing trend for malic and fumaric acids.

This class, along with cyclohexane-1,3-diones with phenyl side chains, phenylene side chains, or other side chains additionally showed a trend in which the addition of a R2 methyl group had a more positive binding energy and a less-efficient IC50 value, possibly due to stearic hindrance.

The expression levels of CsALMT4 , 5 and 9 in subclass II did not show an obvious trend along the Al concentration gradient ( Figure 4 ).

Δ G R-E , Δ G Z-E , Δ G R , Δ G Z and Δ G B showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the aggravation of drought.

For the Pielou evenness index, there were eight significant differences and two extremely significant differences between XY and NT in Student’s t -test, while there were two significant differences between NT and T1 and NT and T2, respectively ( Figure S1 ).

In the crop evolution process, Lpr showed an increasing trend [ 25 ].

The expression of CsIPT2 , CsIPT3.1 , CsIPT5.1 , CsIPT6.1,4 , and CsIPT9.1 all showed a trend of increasing at first and then fell.

Highly significant differences were evident between the seasons (S), blocks (B), and genotype (G) × B interaction.

The significant effect of rooting–growing conditions on further tree performance in field trials was found for height increment in 2020, although the interaction hybrid by rooting–growing conditions was highly significant for phenolic compounds, tree height, and diameter, meaning that the performance of some hybrids was affected by rooting–growing conditions, thus demonstrating epigenetic-like effects.

Change in Morphological Traits of Heteromorphic Leaves with Tree Height Under the conditions of suitable soil moisture and drought stress, the heteromorphic leaf LA showed an increasing trend with the increase in tree height ( Figure 1 b), the LI at 2 m was significantly larger than other heights, and the LT at the crown height (6 m, 8 m, and 10 m) was significantly larger than that at the lower part ( Figure 1 a,c).

These results indicate that leaf area, leaf thickness, fence tissue, palisade-to-sea ratio, main vein xylem area, vessel area, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and proline, MDA, IAA, GA 3 , and ZR contents showed a positive correlation with the tree height under the two soil moisture conditions, but leaf shape index, leaf water potential (LWP), and ABA content showed a decreasing trend.

Specifically, seasonal changes, including conifer and deciduous species, indicated an increasing trend of alpha-cellulose content representing the juvenile phase, that is, the phase of leaf formation.

The major groups and their branched clusters showed high bootstrap values (>97%) denoting highly significant relations between members of each cluster/clade.

Taken together, these elements suggest that there may be significant differences in diversification parameters among clades, which violates a central assumption of Bayesian dating that uses constant diversification priors for the tree branching process [ 64 ].

Although the difference in percentages was small, there was a clear trend of increasing beech dominance predicted with increasing amounts of spring precipitation.

In Peloponnisos, there is a clear trend for endemics to concentrate in areas with a high elevation range [ 11 ].

Furthermore, analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated highly significant (<0.001) variation among genotypes and harvests in each of the dry season and wet season conditions for all the traits considered, while the difference between treatments (MWS and SWS) was only highly significant (<0.001) in the dry season harvests ( Table 1 ).

The SIS showed a highly significant negative correlation with SL (r = −0.52), RL (r = −0.32), CHC (r = −0.73), SFW (r = −0.73), SDW (r = −0.45), RFW (r = −0.47), and RDW (r = −0.42).
