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

Understanding the responses of plants to the major environmental stressors drought and salt is an important topic for the biotechnological application of functional mechanisms of stress adaptation. Here, we review recent discoveries on regulatory systems that link sensing and signaling of these environmental cues focusing on the integrative function of transcription activators. Key components that control and modulate stress adaptive pathways include transcription factors (TFs) ranging from bZIP, AP2/ERF, and MYB proteins to general TFs. Recent studies indicate that molecular dynamics as specific homodimerizations and heterodimerizations as well as modular flexibility and posttranslational modifications determine the functional specificity of TFs in environmental adaptation. Function of central regulators as NAC, WRKY, and zinc finger proteins may be modulated by mechanisms as small RNA (miRNA)-mediated posttranscriptional silencing and reactive oxygen species signaling. In addition to the key function of hub factors of stress tolerance within hierarchical regulatory networks, epigenetic processes as DNA methylation and posttranslational modifications of histones highly influence the efficiency of stress-induced gene expression. Comprehensive elucidation of dynamic coordination of drought and salt responsive TFs in interacting pathways and their specific integration in the cellular network of stress adaptation will provide new opportunities for the engineering of plant tolerance to these environmental stressors.
