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

backgroundSomatic embryogenesis receptor-like kinases (SERKs) are leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases associated with various signaling pathways. These kinases have a relationship with stress signals, and they are also believed to be important for regulating plant growth. However, information about this protein family in apple is limited.

resultsTwelve apple SERK genes distributed across eight chromosomes were identified. These genes clustered into three distinct groups in a phylogenetic analysis. All of the encoded proteins contained typical SERK domains. The chromosomal locations, gene/protein structures, synteny, promoter sequences, protein-protein interactions, and physicochemical characteristics of MdSERK genes were analyzed. Bioinformatics analyses demonstrated that gene duplications have likely contributed to the expansion and evolution of SERK genes in the apple genome. Six homologs of SERK genes were identified between apple and Arabidopsis. Quantitative real-time PCR analyses revealed that the MdSERK genes showed different expression patterns in various tissues. Eight MdSERK genes were responsive to stress signals, such as methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, abscisic acid, and salt (NaCl). The application of exogenous brassinosteroid and auxin increased the growth and endogenous hormone contents of Malus hupehensis seedlings. The expression levels of seven MdSERK genes were significantly upregulated by brassinosteroid and auxin. In addition, several MdSERK genes showed higher expression levels in standard trees of 'Nagafu 2' (CF)/CF than in dwarf trees of CF/'Malling 9' (M.9), and in CF than in the spur-type bud mutation "Yanfu 6" (YF).

conclusionThis study represents the first comprehensive investigation of the apple SERK gene family. These data indicate that apple SERKs may function in adaptation to adverse environmental conditions and may also play roles in controlling apple tree growth.
