Novel Grain Weight Loci Revealed in a Cross between Cultivated and Wild Sorghum.

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
Grain weight has increased during domestication of cereals. Together with grain number it determines yield, but the two are often negatively correlated. Understanding the genetic architecture of grain weight and its relationship with grain number is critical to enhance crop yield. Sorghum is an important food, feed, and biofuel crop well-known for its adaptation to drought and heat. This study aimed to dissect the genetic basis of thousand grain weight (TGW) in a BCF population between a domesticated sorghum accession and its wild progenitor, subsp. and investigate its relationship with grain number. Thousand grain weight, grain number, and yield were measured in field trials in two successive years. A strong negative correlation between TGW and grain number was observed in both trials. In total, 17 TGW quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified, with 11 of them exhibiting an opposing effect on grain number, implying the correlation between TGW and grain number is due to pleiotropy. Nine grain size candidate genes were identified within 6 TGW QTL, and of these 5 showed signatures of selection during sorghum domestication. Large-effect QTL in this study that have not been identified previously in cultivated sorghum were found to contain candidate genes with domestication signal, indicating that these QTL were affected during sorghum domestication. This study sheds new light on the genetic basis of TGW, its relationship with grain number, and sorghum domestication.
