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

key messageWe found a histone variant enhances drought tolerance partially via promoting stomatal closure other than osmotic stress resistance, indicating the crucial and complicated contribution of epigenetic regulation to abiotic stress response. Histone variants epigenetically regulate gene transcription through remodeling chromatin. They have been implicated in modulating plant abiotic stress response, however, the role(s) is not well documented. Here, we identified an abiotic stress responsive H2A variant gene TaH2A.7 from wheat. TaH2A.7 shared high identity with H2A homologs and localized to the nucleus. TaH2A.7 overexpression in Arabidopsis significantly enhanced drought tolerance, but had no effect on the response to saline, osmotic and oxidative stresses. TaH2A.7 lowered water loss rate, and promoted ABA-induced stomatal closure. In TaH2A.7 overexpression plants, the mRNA levels of numerous genes involved in the ABA pathway and stomatal movement signaling pathway were elevated, H2O2 level in guard cells was increased, as well. Together, TaH2A.7 can enhance drought tolerance via, at least in part, promoting stomatal closure, and appears to be a promising target for molecular breeding.
