Excerpts

In contrast, during the spring, we found an increasing trend in the relationship between the NDVI and temperature, suggesting that, in the spring, the relationship between temperature changes and vegetation growth may have become more closely linked.

A clear trend was observed across all treated original seeds throughout the storage tenure: CAT enzyme activities initially increased and then decreased.

We should identify the main species of phytoplankton as much as possible, especially those with indicative significance for the classification of trophic types, and identify at least the genus level.

[ 23 ] found that the relationship between the summer NDVI and air temperature for an alpine meadow across the Tibetan Plateau showed a decreasing trend.

Regarding Ca, a clear trend prevailed suggesting that Se antagonizes the uptake of it, while for the remaining elements in general (except Mn) no significant differences were noted.

Specifically in sugarcane, results obtained in trials with Howler showed a favorable trend in disease control in commercial varieties challenged with the pathogen A. avenae subsp. avenae which causes red stripe [ 41 ].

Other variables that were close to being significant in both Oaxaca and Chiapas, were producer age group and the age of the seed stock used (see Table 2 ).

Within the experimental concentration range, the growth of kenaf in the urea- and NO 3 − –N groups showed an increasing trend, followed by a decreasing trend with increasing N concentration.

The MDA content in the urea- and NO 3 − –N treatments increased with increasing N concentration, whereas that in the NH 4 + –N treatments showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. 3.

Both the α-diversity (expressed as number of OTUs) and the β-diversity (expressed with the Whittaker index) within the field-collected samples did not differ among sites, although for the latter the p -value turned out to be near significance (P α-diversity = 0.194; P β-diversity = 0.0638; Table S9 in the Supplementary Materials ).

Correlation analysis revealed a highly significant negative correlation between starch content in the grains and both protein and oil contents, while protein and oil contents exhibited a positive correlation ( Table S1 ).

Future climate scenarios predict changes in the precipitation regimes in the desert regions of northwestern China, following an increasing trend [ 6 , 8 , 9 , 10 ].

Comparison of Antioxidant Activities among Fruits with Different Appearances As shown in Figure 11 , the DPPH free radical-scavenging and ABTS cation radical-scavenging capacities of the pulp of Korla fragrant pear fruits showed a decreasing trend during growth and development.

Results The dry matter content showed an increasing trend with the culture period.

Under gPLM stress, the content of S element in rice only significantly increased at 50 mg/L ( p < 0.05); the content of Ca showed a trend of first increasing then decreasing, with the highest at 10 mg/L, and significantly decreased at 50, 100 mg/L ( p < 0.05); the content of Mg first decreased then increased, with the highest at 100 mg/L and the lowest at 20 mg/L.

For instance, alanine, arginine, proline, and leucine showed an increasing trend (with a maximum of 31.57 ± 9.21% at 124 days for alanine and 20.65 ± 4.83 at 75 days for arginine), whereas glutamic acid showed a decreasing trend.

Exocarp SOD activity showed a decreasing trend during refrigeration (from R10d to 30d) but was not significant ( p > 0.05) and there were no significant changes ( p > 0.05) between storage exit time and consumption maturity (SL).

However, the activity of POD in rice treated with gPLM shows an increasing trend.

Moreover, the expression of FvYTH3 showed a decreasing trend as the fruit matured ( Figure 6 B and Figure S5C ).

In total, 28 SNP markers were highly significant and located in a genomic region of 3.3–4.3 megabase pairs (Mbp) on chromosome 3, for which p -values ranged from 3.7 × 10 −16 to 4.4 × 10 −23 ( Table 2 ).

Furthermore, with global temperatures on the rise due to climate change, there may be significant implications for crop yields and the nutritional properties of seeds.

As shown in Figure 14 , under rPLM stress, the content of S element in rice significantly increased ( p < 0.05), reaching its highest at 100 mg/L, an increase of 65.14% compared with the control; the content of Ca and Mg showed a decreasing trend, reaching their lowest at 100 mg/L, a decrease of 29.42% and 23.68%, respectively, compared with the control.

foliatum , the suitable distribution area of most species showed a decreasing trend to varying degrees.

Acidobacteria showed an increasing trend in O1, O2, and O3 (25.04%, 27.50%, and 30.06%, respectively) with the N1 level.

Terpenes showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing levels in potted Paeonia ostii ‘Fengdan’, with the largest amount released from 12:00 to 15:00.
