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

Drought resistance (DR) is a complex trait that is regulated by a variety of genes. Without comprehensive profiling of DR-related traits, the knowledge of the genetic architecture for DR in cotton remains limited. Thus, there is a need to bridge the gap between genomics and phenomics. In this study, an automatic phenotyping platform (APP) was systematically applied to examine 119 image-based digital traits (i-traits) during drought stress at the seedling stage, across a natural population of 200 representative upland cotton accessions. Some novel i-traits, as well as some traditional i-traits, were used to evaluate the DR in cotton. The phenomics data allowed us to identify 390 genetic loci by genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 56 morphological and 63 texture i-traits. DR-related genes, including GhRD2, GhNAC4, GhHAT22 and GhDREB2, were identified as candidate genes by some digital traits. Further analysis of candidate genes showed that Gh_A04G0377 and Gh_A04G0378 functioned as negative regulators for cotton drought response. Based on the combined digital phenotyping, GWAS analysis and transcriptome data, we conclude that the phenomics dataset provides an excellent resource to characterize key genetic loci with an unprecedented resolution which can inform future genome-based breeding for improved DR in cotton.
