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

Plants are known to be able to acclimate their photosynthesis to the level of irradiance. Here, we present the analysis of natural genetic variation for photosynthetic light use efficiency (ΦPSII) in response to five light environments among 12 genetically diverse Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) accessions. We measured the acclimation of ΦPSII to constant growth irradiances of four different levels (100, 200, 400, and 600 µmol m(-2) s(-1)) by imaging chlorophyll fluorescence after 24 d of growth and compared these results with acclimation of ΦPSII to a step-wise change in irradiance where the growth irradiance was increased from 100 to 600 µmol m(-2) s(-1) after 24 d of growth. Genotypic variation for ΦPSII is shown by calculating heritability for the short-term ΦPSII response to different irradiance levels as well as for the relation of ΦPSII measured at light saturation (a measure of photosynthetic capacity) to growth irradiance level and for the kinetics of the response to a step-wise increase in irradiance from 100 to 600 µmol m(-2) s(-1). A genome-wide association study for ΦPSII measured 1 h after a step-wise increase in irradiance identified several new candidate genes controlling this trait. In conclusion, the different photosynthetic responses to a changing light environment displayed by different Arabidopsis accessions are due to genetic differences, and we have identified candidate genes for the photosynthetic response to an irradiance change. The genetic variation for photosynthetic acclimation to irradiance found in this study will allow future identification and analysis of the causal genes for the regulation of ΦPSII in plants.
