1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Transformation of potato plastids is limited by low transformation frequencies and low transgene expression in tubers. In order to improve the transformation efficiency, we modified the regeneration procedure and prepared novel vectors containing potato flanking sequences for transgene integration by homologous recombination in the Large Single Copy region of the plastome. Vector delivery was performed by the biolistic approach. By using the improved regeneration procedure and the potato flanking sequences, we regenerated about one shoot every bombardment. This efficiency corresponds to 15-18-fold improvement compared to previous results with potato and is comparable to that usually achieved with tobacco. Further, we tested five promoters and terminators, and four 5'-UTRs, to increase the expression of the gfp transgene in tubers. In leaves, accumulation of GFP to about 4% of total soluble protein (TSP) was obtained with the strong promoter of the rrn operon, a synthetic rbcL-derived 5'-UTR and the bacterial rrnB terminator. GFP protein was detected in tubers of plants transformed with only four constructs out of eleven. Best results (up to approximately 0.02% TSP) were achieved with the rrn promoter and rbcL 5'-UTR construct, described above, and another containing the same terminator, but with the promoter and 5'-UTR from the plastid clpP gene. The results obtained suggest the potential use of clpP as source of novel regulatory sequences in constructs aiming to express transgenes in amyloplasts and other non-green plastids. Furthermore, they represent a significant advancement of the plastid transformation technology in potato, of relevance to its implementation in potato breeding and biotechnology.
