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

The yield of essential oil in commercially harvested perennial species (e.g. 'Oil Mallee' eucalypts, Tea Trees and Hop) is dependent on complex quantitative traits such as foliar oil concentration, biomass and adaptability. These often show large natural variation and some are highly heritable, which has enabled significant gains in oil yield via traditional phenotypic recurrent selection. Analysis of transcript abundance and allelic diversity has revealed that essential oil yield is likely to be controlled by large numbers of quantitative trait loci that range from a few of medium/large effect to many of small effect. Molecular breeding techniques that exploit this information could increase gains per unit time and address complications of traditional breeding such as genetic correlations between key traits and the lower heritability of biomass. Genomic selection (GS) is a technique that uses the information from markers genotyped across the whole genome in order to predict the phenotype of progeny well before they reach maturity, allowing selection at an earlier age. In this review, we investigate the feasibility of genomic selection (GS) for the improvement of essential oil yield. We explore the challenges facing breeders selecting for oil yield, and how GS might deal with them. We then assess the factors that affect the accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values, such as linkage disequilibrium (LD), heritability, relatedness and the genetic architecture of desirable traits. We conclude that GS has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of selection for essential oil yield.
