Can anyone tell me the difference between using aovaov() and lmelme() for analyzing longitudinal data and how to interpret results from these two methods?

Below, I analyze the same dataset using aovaov() and lmelme() and got 2 different resultresults. with aovWith aov(), iI got a significant result in the time by treatment interaction factor. But, but fitting a linear mixed model, time by treatment interaction is insignificant.
