The effect of exogenous methyl jasmonate on the flowering time, floral organ morphology, and transcript levels of a group of genes implicated in the development of oilseed rape flowers (Brassica napus L.).

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
The oilseed rape plant's transition from the vegetative to the reproductive stage is important to its yield. This transition is controlled by a large group of flowering time genes that respond to environmental and endogenous cues. The role of jasmonates in flowering is almost unknown in Brassicaceae, even in the genus Arabidopsis. In this paper, the clear effect of exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on the flowering time, floral organ morphology, and transcript levels of a group of genes implicated in floral development is shown. In controlled greenhouse experiments, we found that the effect of MeJA depended on both plant genotype and jasmonate dosage. MeJA promoted maximum flowering when it was applied to the cultivars of early flowering types of oilseed rape, such as cultivars Mei-Jian and Fu-You 4. In addition, a concentration of 100 microM resulted in the most number of early open flowers, in comparison with the results obtained for concentrations of 50 and 80 microM. Furthermore, the application of high concentrations of MeJA (100 microM) also produced various kinds of abnormal flowers. Our results demonstrated that the combined actions of the floral identity genes, specifically BnAP1, BnAP2, BnAP3, BnAG1, and BnPI3, as reflected by their respective relative transcript levels, were responsible for causing the different kinds of flower abnormalities previously undescribed in oilseed rape. We expect our assay to be an enriching addition to the body of work that attempts to understand the signaling function of jasmonates in the floral inductive pathway.
