A comparative study of the genetic bases of natural variation in tomato leaf, sepal, and petal morphology.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In an effort to better understand the dramatic differences in vegetative and floral morphology that differentiate species within the genus Lycopersicon, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for leaflet and perianth size and shape characters were mapped in an interspecific F2 population of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum x L. pennellii). Thirty-six highly significant (P < or = 0.001) QTL were associated with 18 separate traits. QTL for correlated traits were generally not colocalized in the genome unless there was a clear codependence between the traits (e.g., organ length and area). Little or no overlap in QTL positioning between different organs was observed, suggesting that the genes determining the size and shape of leaflets, sepals, and petals are organ specific. Thus, while leaves are considered the developmental and evolutionary precursors to floral organs, genes acting late in development to determine certain aspects of morphology (namely shape and size) must have specialized to exert control over individual organs. Five of the leaflet-trait QTL map to analogous regions in the genome of eggplant, and therefore it appears there has been some conservation in the genes controlling leaf morphology within the Solanaceae.
