Ethylene promotes pollen tube growth by affecting actin filament organization via the cGMP-dependent pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana.

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.
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
Ethylene and cGMP are key regulators of plant developmental processes. In this study, we demonstrate that ethylene or cGMP promote pollen tube growth in a dose-dependent manner. The etr1-1 mutant was found to be insensitive to ethylene with regard to pollen tube growth, while the growth-promoting effect of ethylene in etr2-2, ein4-4, or ein4-7 did not change, suggesting that ethylene signaling was mainly perceived by ETR1. However, the function of cGMP was not inhibited in etr1-1 and pollen tubes became insensitive to ethylene when the endogenous cGMP level was artificially decreased. This shows that cGMP is necessary for the control of pollen tube growth and that it might be a downstream component of ETR1 in the ethylene signaling pathway. Our study also found that ethylene or cGMP increase the actin bundles and elevated the percentage of relative amount of F-actin, while removal of cGMP decreased actin bundles abundance and altered the ratio of F-actin in the tip and base regions of pollen tubes. In conclusion, our data suggests that ethylene functions as the upstream signal of cGMP, and that both signals promote pollen germination and tube growth by regulating F-actin, which is essential for vesicular transport and cytoplasmic streaming.
