When they used maximum width (W), leaf length (L), petiole length (Lp) and dry weight of leaves (DML) as single variables in the regression equations were not as closely associated with total leaf area, although their R 2 values were also highly significant.

As regards the SOD activity, results obtained at the V12 stage already revealed a highly significant increase in the SOD activity level in untreated (CT) cultivars, which was reduced in all other treatments (NP, FF, NP + FF).

The analysis of variance for frond and root traits showed highly significant differences among the clones ( Table 2 ).

Nevertheless, a decreasing trend of the element content was generally observed passing from the distal to the proximal bag of each triplet (i.e., the proximal bag generally up-took lower amounts) ( Figure 5 ). 2.4.

Thus, despite the different target of the two techniques—ICP-MS aims at quantifying multiple elements, whereas SIRM is sensitive only to the magnetizable fraction of PM, mainly iron oxides like hematite, magnetite and maghemite with incorporated trace elements—both techniques show a clear trend, with higher element fluxes in bags farther away to the handlebar of the bicycle and thus closer to the ground.

During low-temperature storage, the different treatments had a significant effect on the L* and b* values of the mangoes ( p < 0.05), with a decreasing trend.

Trading in local plant genetic diversity for securing better yields should be mentioned as a negative trend in Bulgarian rural home gardens.

[ 22 ] showing a decreasing trend with increased N application rates, whereas NUpE increased up to certain N application rates and then decreased.

However, NUpE did not follow the same patterns (though only marginally significant) and was higher at the 0 kg ha −1 N rate and lower at the 150 kg ha −1 N rate.

[ 29 ] highlighted that L* and a* values were negatively influenced by the increased BSG levels, while b* value recorded a positive trend.

There is a clearly significant correlation with yield (r = −0.95), pH (r = −0.88) and Ntot (r = 0.71) on the PC2 axis.

Glucose had a highly significant positive correlation with fructose ( r = 0.87) and sucrose was positively correlated, though not higher in value, with glucose ( r = 0.52) and fructose ( r = 0.46) ( Figure 1 ). 2.2.

Disaccharides show an increasing trend alongside increasing [CO 2 ] in HL but were relatively stable across [CO 2 ] treatments in LL ( Figure 3 ).

Pentose was significantly influenced by a combination of genotype and light ( p = 0.041) and [CO 2 ] and light ( p < 0.001): In both Barke and Bojos, levels of pentoses showed a slightly increasing trend with increasing [CO 2 ] under HL, but a decreasing trend with increasing [CO 2 ] under LL.

Solution STS showed an increasing trend of TPC between 8 and 14 DAF, followed by a decrease in the mean value of TPC between 14 and 24 DAF ( Figure 2 ) , while the number of flowers increased with sampling dates between 14 and 24 DAF ( Figure 1 ).

With the increase in nitrogen application rate, the soil-available potassium in MC showed a trend of significantly decreasing.

The content of proline, soluble protein, and POD activity all exhibited a decreasing trend at first, then an increasing trend.

A total of 15 items were enriched in the cell component group, and the highly significant expression subclasses were cell (1935) and cell part (1935), followed by organelle (1412) and membrane (1078).

A good adaptation of the selected variables was found, with KMO values higher than 0.7 and a highly significant Bartlett’s test.

A hump-shaped pattern was found in air temperature, dew point and rainfall, but relative humidity showed a decreasing trend from May to October in the growing season.

A negative trend was observed between yield and protein content.

However, at the Keta location, the relationship of biomass to elevation did not have a decreasing trend but followed a U shape ( Figure 3 ).

These models were highly significant and explained 88% to 93% of variability in height-diameter relationships of individual species. 2.2.

Regarding the fixed effects, both main effects and their interaction were highly significant.

There was a positive trend between root length, root mass, and shoot mass in both the semi-hydroponic system and rhizoboxes ( Table 3 and Table 6 ).
