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

Photosynthates generated after heading contributes to 60% - 80% of grain yield in rice. Delay in leaf senescence can contribute to a long grain-filling period and thereby increased yield. The objective of this study was to identify genomic region(s) responsible for delayed leaf senescence (DLS) and validate the role of underlying candidate genes in controlling target traits. 302 BC2F4 backcross-derived lines (BILs) developed from a cross between Swarna and Moroberekan were phenotyped for two seasons (DS2016 and WS2017) for chlorophyll content and yield parameters. KASPar-SNP assays based genotyping data with 193 SNPs of mapping population was used to identify the targeted genomic region(s). Significant positive correlation was observed between the two most important determinants of DLS traits viz., RDCF (reduced decline degree of chlorophyll content of flag leaf) and RDCS (reduced decline degree of chlorophyll content of second leaf) with plant height (PH), grain number per panicle (GPN), panicle length (PL), number of tiller (NT) and grain yield (GY). A total of 41 and 29 QTLs with phenotypic variance (PVE) ranging from 8.2 to 25.1% were detected for six DLS traits during DS2016 and WS2017, respectively. Out of these identified QTLs, 19 were considered as stable QTLs detected across seasons. 17 of the identified stable QTLs were found to be novel. In-silico analysis revealed five key genes regulating chlorophyll metabolism. Expression analysis of these genes confirmed their strong association with the senescence pattern in leaf tissue of parents as well as selected phenotypically extreme lines. The identified stable QTLs regulating DLS traits and validation of potential candidate genes provides insight into genetic basis of delayed senescence and is expected to contribute in enhancing grain yield through genomics-assisted breeding (GAB).
