Comprehensive 3D phenotyping reveals continuous morphological variation across genetically diverse sorghum inflorescences.

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
●Inflorescence architecture in plants is often complex and challenging to quantify, particularly for inflorescences of cereal grasses. Methods for capturing inflorescence architecture and for analyzing the resulting data are limited to a few easily captured parameters that may miss the rich underlying diversity. ●Here, we apply X-ray computed tomography combined with detailed morphometrics, offering new imaging and computational tools to analyze three-dimensional inflorescence architecture. To show the power of this approach, we focus on the panicles of Sorghum bicolor, which vary extensively in numbers, lengths, and angles of primary branches, as well as the three-dimensional shape, size, and distribution of the seed. ●We imaged and comprehensively evaluated the panicle morphology of 55 sorghum accessions that represent the five botanical races in the most common classification system of the species, defined by genetic data. We used our data to determine the reliability of the morphological characters for assigning specimens to race and found that seed features were particularly informative. ●However, the extensive overlap between botanical races in multivariate trait space indicates that the phenotypic range of each group extends well beyond its overall genetic background, indicating unexpectedly weak correlation between morphology, genetic identity, and domestication history.
