Excerpts

In the present study, caffeic acid and sinapic acid contents showed an increasing trend in radicles of the two varieties under TS, but ferulic acid showed the opposite trend in resistance to TS, indicating that caffeic, sinapic, and ferulic acids have a similar positive response to the TS process in maize radicles, but the trends may vary by species.

From the different soil layers, with the deepening of the soil layer, the soil available P took a decreasing trend.

From the different soil levels, the alkaline phosphatase activity in the 20–40 cm soil was lower than that in the surface soil in the initial stage of fertilization and showed an increasing trend after the wheat-harvest period and the maize-harvest period, and was generally higher than that in the surface soil after the maize-harvest period, and the difference between treatments became larger. 1.1.3.

In the wheat-harvest period, except for the treatment with high-energy microbial inoculum (T4), the Ca 2 -P content of other EOMs was significantly higher than that in CK, and the Ca 2 -P content of soil treated with cow manure-vermicompost (T6) was the highest, with a 135.6% increase compared with CK, and the difference was highly significant.

However, crop yields usually show a decreasing trend with the decline in the fertilizer application amount.

With the same nitrogen topdressing level, the leaf Pn showed an increasing trend with the increase in the aeration ratio—the leaf Pn for treatments with an aeration ratio of 10% increased by 37–54% compared with the non-aeration treatment.

Regardless of the application of the biostimulant, the nitrate content in the rocket leaves showed a decreasing trend after the first harvest.

Highly significant positive correlations were observed among plant height, ear height, the ratio of ear height to plant height, spike leaf length, spike leaf width, length and width of the upper ear leaf, and leaf number.

Noticeably, our results indicated that the Tr decreased with the application of biochar-based microbial fertilizer, while there was an increasing trend in WUE ins and WUE in .

On the contrary, the correlation coefficients for most pairs of the color traits are highly significant (55 out of 66 pairs).

This suggests a weak trend of competition between iron-oxidizing bacteria and chemical oxidation of Fe(II) at low pH levels.

The transpiration rate showed a decreasing trend during the plant growth period, with increasing leaf temperature and stomatal diffusion resistance [ 29 ].

Through the analysis of the correlation between the various environments of PH and BN, it was found that for PH, except for 15LQ and 15ALE, 15AY and 16ALE, the environments all exhibited extremely significant or significant correlation.

During the process of stratification, the content of GA 3 in seeds of water soaking and GA 3 soaking showed an increasing trend.

However, as isolation increases, there was a decreasing trend in both taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity indices ( Figure S3 ). 2.2.

However, as the order of dominance of these companion and occasional species declined, the effect of plant species on species diversity showed a highly significant exponential or linear downward trend ( R 2 : 0.891~0.967).

The families and genera of grasslands in Altai showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing, and the species showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing and then decreasing.

Introduction An increasing trend in the daily consumption and variety of different types of sprouts available in grocery stores is accompanied by a growing number of publications on the biological properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic effects, of these new elements of the human diet.

urophylla exhibited a similar behavior to what was found for height, showing an increasing trend in root depth with the age of the stand.

Moreover, Tukey’s HSD test at α < 0.05 among the four irrigation treatments at the three sampling times showed highly significant variability in all soil cations but with no significant changes in soil anions.

Inbreeding Coefficient The inbreeding coefficient (F) showed an increasing trend for all GS strategies ( Figure 4 ).

MDA and O 2 − · contents were significantly different between the control and D1 through D4 and R1, and with an increased drought duration, MDA and O 2 − · contents showed an increasing trend.

NMDS The NMDS analyses showed there were significant differences in spider species composition between 2020 and 2021, which is approximately significant for plants ( Figure 4 A,B).

In the present study, the activities of SOD, POD, CAT, and APX showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing at 0, 25, and 300 mmol·L −1 NaCl ( Figure 3 ).

The Accumulation of N, P, and K Irrigation methods and nitrogen fertilizer management have significant or highly significant effects on the accumulation of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in vegetative organs, ear parts, and mature plants during the heading and maturity stages ( Table 2 , Table 3 and Table 4 ).
