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

Seed size and seed metabolites have been the targets of direct or indirect selection during domestication and subsequent crop breeding. Understanding these traits and associated genetics can prove very useful for plant translational research. Large germplasm assemblage (235) of Brassica juncea and its progenitor species (B. rapa and B. nigra) was evaluated to establish seed trait variations for seed size and seed metabolites. Seeds were smallest in B. nigra and largest in B. juncea. Australian B. juncea and Indian B. rapa var brown sarson types averaged more seed oil content. Seed size and oil content were generally higher in modern cultivars in comparison to the land races. Allelic diversity for known associated genes for seed-size and oil-content (AP2, ARF2, TTG2, GRF2, GL2, CYP78A5, CYP78A6, MINI3, IKU2, IKU1, BRI1, DGAT, GPDH, LPAAT, GPAT and DA1) was studied so as to infer the effect of domestication on seed traits. Three genes (IKU1, IKU2, AP2) in B. rapa, two (TTG2 and GL2) in B. nigra and two (IKU1 and GRF2) in natural B. juncea were identified as targets of selection on the basis of Fst outlier and/or sequence diversity tests. We report parallel divergence for seed traits between B. juncea and B. rapa. Directional selection appeared stronger for seed-size as compared to correlated seed metabolites. Positive selection on seed-size is likely to have played a significant role in structuring regional variation in the germplasm.
