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

A partly infected plant develops systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and shows heightened resistance during subsequent infections. The infected parts generate certain mobile signals that travel to the distal tissues and help to activate SAR. SAR is associated with epigenetic modifications of several defence-related genes. However, the mechanisms by which mobile signals contribute to epigenetic changes are little known. Previously, we have shown that the Arabidopsis REDUCED SYSTEMIC IMMUNITY 1 (RSI1, alias FLOWERING LOCUS D; FLD), which codes for a putative histone demethylase, is required for the activation of SAR. Here, we report the identification of GLUTATHIONE-S-TRANSFERASE THETA 2 (GSTT2) as an interacting factor of FLD. GSTT2 expression increases in pathogen-inoculated as well as pathogen-free distal tissues. The loss-of-function mutant of GSTT2 is compromised for SAR, but activates normal local resistance. Complementation lines of GSTT2 support its role in SAR activation. The distal tissues of gstt2 mutant plants accumulate significantly less salicylic acid (SA) and express a reduced level of the SA biosynthetic gene PAL1. In agreement with the established histone modification activity of FLD, gstt2 mutant plants accumulate an enhanced level of methylated and acetylated histones in the promoters of WRKY6 and WRKY29 genes. Together, these results demonstrate that GSTT2 is an interactor of FLD, which is required for SAR and SAR-associated epigenetic modifications.
