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

The UV-B photoreceptor UVR8 mediates multiple UV-B responses in plants, but the function of UVR8 in regulating root development has not previously been investigated. Here, we show that UV-B light inhibits Arabidopsis lateral root growth in a UVR8-dependent manner. Monomeric UVR8 inhibits auxin responses in a tissue-autonomous manner and thereby regulates lateral root growth. Genome-wide gene expression analysis demonstrated that auxin and UV-B irradiation antagonistically regulate auxin-regulated gene expression. We further show that UVR8 physically interacts with MYB73/MYB77 (MYB DOMAIN PROTEIN 73/77) in a UV-B-dependent manner. UVR8 inhibits lateral root development via regulation of MYB73/MYB77. When activated by UV-B light, UVR8 localizes to the nucleus and inhibits the DNA-binding activities of MYB73/MYB77 and directly represses the transcription of their target auxin-responsive genes. Our results demonstrate that UV-B light and UVR8 are critical for both shoot morphogenesis and root development. The UV-B-dependent interaction of UVR8 and MYB73/MYB77 serves as an important module that integrates light and auxin signaling and represents a new UVR8 signaling mechanism in plants.
