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

backgroundβ-carotene (provitamin A) is an important target for biofortification of crops as a potential solution to the problem of vitamin A deficiency that is prevalent in developing countries. A previous report showed that dominant expression of splicing variants in the Orange (Or) gene causes β-carotene accumulation in cauliflower curd. In this study, we focused on a putative orthologue of the cauliflower or gene in rice, Osor, and attempt to accumulate β-carotene in rice callus by modification of the Osor gene via genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9.

findingsCRISPR/Cas9 vectors for the Osor gene were constructed and transformed into rice calli. Some transformed calli showed orange color due to β-carotene hyper-accumulation. Molecular analyses suggest that orange-colored calli are due to an abundance of in-frame aberrant Osor transcripts, whereas out-of-frame mutations were not associated with orange color.

conclusionsWe demonstrate that directed gene modification of the Osor gene via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing results in β-carotene fortification in rice calli. To date, golden rice, which accumulates β-carotene in rice endosperm, has been developed by conventional transgenic approaches. Our results suggest an alternative approach to enhancing β-carotene accumulation in crops.
