Functional analysis of the heterotrimeric NF-Y transcription factor complex in cassava disease resistance.
Article in Annals of botany, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 14 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) transcription factor complex is important in plant growth, development and stress response. Information regarding this transcription factor complex is limited in cassava (Manihot esculenta). In this study, 15 MeNF-YAs, 21 MeNF-YBs and 15 MeNF-YCs were comprehensively characterized during plant defence.
methodsGene expression in MeNF-Ys was examined during interaction with the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam). The yeast two-hybrid system was employed to investigate protein-protein interactions in the heterotrimeric NF-Y transcription factor complex. The in vivo roles of MeNF-Ys were revealed by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in cassava. KEY
resultsThe regulation of MeNF-Ys in response to Xam indicated their possible roles in response to cassava bacterial blight. Protein-protein interaction assays identified the heterotrimeric NF-Y transcription factor complex (MeNF-YA1/3, MeNF-YB11/16 and MeNF-YC11/12). Moreover, the members of the heterotrimeric NF-Y transcription factor complex were located in the cell nucleus and conferred transcriptional activation activity to the CCAAT motif. Notably, the heterotrimeric NF-Y transcription factor complex positively regulated plant disease resistance to Xam, confirmed by a disease phenotype in overexpressing plants in Nicotiana benthamiana and VIGS in cassava. Consistently, the heterotrimeric NF-Y transcription factor complex positively regulated the expression of pathogenesis-related genes (MePRs).
conclusionsThe NF-Y transcription factor complex (MeNF-YA1/3, MeNF-YB11/16 and MeNF-YC11/12) characterized here was shown to play a role in transcriptional activation of MePR promoters, contributing to the plant defence response in cassava.
