Identification of genetic variation for salt tolerance in Brassica napus using genome-wide association mapping.
Article in Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Soil salinity negatively impacts rapeseed (Brassica napus) crop production. In particular, high soil salinity is known to hinder seedling growth and establishment. Identifying natural genetic variation for high salt tolerance in Brassica napus seedlings is an effective way to breed for improved productivity under salt stress. To identify genetic variants involved in differential response to salt stress, we evaluated a diverse association panel of 228 Brasica napus accessions for four seedling traits under salt stress to establish stress susceptibility index (SSI) and stress tolerance index (STI) values, and performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using 201,817 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers. Our GWAS identified 142 significant SNP markers strongly associated with salt tolerance distributed across all rapeseed chromosomes, with 78 SNPs in the C genome and 64 SNPs in the A genome, and our analyses subsequently pinpointed both favorable alleles and elite cultivars. We identified 117 possible candidate genes associated with these SNPs: 95/117 were orthologous with Arabidopsis thaliana genes encoding transcription factors, aquaporins, and binding proteins. The expression level of ten candidate genes was validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and these genes were found to be differentially expressed between salt-tolerant and salt-susceptible lines under salt stress conditions. Our results provide new genetic resources and information for improving salt tolerance in rapeseed genotypes at the seed germination and seedling stages via genomic or marker-assisted selection, and for future functional characterization of putative gene candidates.
