An interaction between variety and processing was only observed for AID and SID of tryptophan (p < 0.001), as only in PR46W21 standard processing reduced the tryptophan SID compared to its soft processed counterpart.
There was an interaction between variety and cutting height for DM intake and total tract apparent digestibility of DM, crude protein, and neutral detergent fiber because of lower intake and digestibility for the diets containing either the high cut, average quality variety or low cut, higher quality variety.
An interaction between variety and sex for Σ lseg was found because of a greater difference in size between L♂ and B♂ (54.67 mm), than between L♀ and B♀ (38.63 mm).
A significant interaction between variety and sex for hhip was also found because hhip was 33.04 mm taller in B♂ compared to B ♀, whereas in the standard breed, hhip was 21.60 mm taller L♀ compared to L♂ (the opposite pattern) (Table 1).
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for each measured variable to assess the overall significance (F-tests) of main effects and interactions between varieties nested within cooking type (French fry, crisping or boiling), N and storage.
Overall, if no till was not considered, no significant interactions between variety and tillage treatments were found for final seedling numbers.
Exploratory case studies can be a research strategy most suitable for the objective and object of study in cases where the interaction between a variety of factors in, so far, less examined, complex and dynamically changing action contexts has to be analysed (especially with a far-sighted and innovation-oriented view of future developments).
Plant C N did not influence aphid density (all aphids: F1,136 = 0.007, P = 0.935) but it was itself influenced by a three-way interaction between plant variety, earthworm treatment and aphid treatment (F9,163 = 2.64, P = 0.007; Figure 4).
Cumulative analysis of the two autumn trials including no till showed a significant (P≤0.05) interaction between treatment and varieties: the large seed variety had a better performance only with no till, particularly in the first year.
Till date our understanding of rice-gall midge interaction at the molecular level was based on host transcriptomics involving compatible interaction between indica rice varieties and gall midge biotypes i.e. Kavya-GMB4M and TN1-GMB4 and similarly for the incompatible interaction between Kavya-GMB1 and Suraksha-GMB4 (Rawat et al. 2012a,b, 2013).
