Characterization of tryptophan-overproducing potato transgenic for a mutant rice anthranilate synthase alpha-subunit gene (OASA1D).
Article in Planta, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Potato plants (Solanum tuberosum cv. May Queen) transgenic for OASA1D, which encodes a point mutant of an alpha-subunit of rice (Oryza sativa) anthranilate synthase (AS, EC 4.1.3.27), were generated in order to determine the effects of the mutant gene on levels of free tryptophan (Trp) and AS activity in this important crop. Expression of OASA1D in potato induced a 2- to 20-fold increase in the amount of free Trp. This increase was likely due to a reduction in the sensitivity of AS containing the mutant alpha-subunit to feedback inhibition by Trp. Nontargeted metabolite profiling by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet photodiode array detection as well as targeted profiling by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry revealed no marked changes in the levels of other metabolites, with the exception of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), in the transgenic plants. The level of IAA in the upper part of the shoot was increased by a factor of 8.3-39, depending on the transgenic lines, with no detectable effect on plant growth or development. The effects of transformation thus appeared limited to the biosynthesis of Trp and IAA, with the overall metabolic network in potato being virtually unaffected. These results suggest that transformation with OASA1D may prove effective for the breeding of crops with an increased level of free Trp.
