However, there was a slight trend to lower P + high at the highest PAR amb or T leaf , suggesting that total oxidizable PSI may have decreased at high light or temperatures, perhaps reflecting accumulation of PSI photodamage or electron sink limitations.

In our study, although no statistical differences were observed between the treatments, there was a slight trend towards greater firmness in figs covered with NPs and P.

There was a slight trend to accelerate the current onset in the β 2 G254V mutant; however, it was not significant, and importantly, recordings for this receptor were made in the lifted-cell mode in which solution exchange is markedly slower than in the case of excised-patches (compare RT for WT: 0.41 and 1.83 ms in excised-patch and lifted-cell, respectively; Figure 3 A,B; Table 1 ).
