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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsPlants growing at high densities perceive a decrease in the red to far-red (R/FR) ratio of incoming light. These changes in light quality trigger a suite of responses collectively known as the shade-avoidance syndrome (SAS) including hypocotyl and stem elongation, inhibition of branching and acceleration of flowering.

methodsQuantitative trait loci (QTLs) were mapped for hypocotyl length to end-of-day far-red (EOD), a simulated shade-avoidance response, in recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings, derived from Landsberg erecta (Ler) and three accessions (Columbia, Col; Nossen, No-0; and Cape Verde Islands, Cvi-0). KEY

resultsFive loci were identified as being responsible for the EOD response, with a positive contribution of Ler alleles on the phenotype independently of the RIL population. Quantitative complementation analysis and transgenic lines showed that PHYB is the candidate gene for EODRATIO5 in the Ler × Cvi-0 RIL population, but not for two co-localized QTLs, EODRATIO1 and EODRATIO2 mapped in the Ler × No-0 and Ler × Col RIL populations, respectively. The ERECTA gene was also implicated in the SAS in a background-dependent manner. For hypocotyl length EOD response, a positive contribution of erecta alleles was found in Col and Van-0, but not in Ler, Cvi-0, Hir-1 or Ws. Furthermore, pleiotropic effects of ERECTA in the EOD response were also detected for petiole and lamina elongation, hyponastic growth, and flowering time.

conclusionsThe results show that the analysis of multiple mapping populations leads to a better understanding of the SAS genetic architecture. Moreover, the background- and trait-dependent contribution of ERECTA in the SAS suggest that its function in shaded natural environments may be relevant for some populations in different phases of plant development. It is proposed that ERECTA is involved in canalization processes buffering the genetic variation of the SAS against environmental light fluctuations.
