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

Plant cells contain three organelles that harbor DNA: the nucleus, plastids, and mitochondria. Plastid transformation has emerged as an attractive platform for the generation of transgenic plants, also referred to as transplastomic plants. Plastid genomes have been genetically engineered to improve crop yield, nutritional quality, and resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses, as well as for recombinant protein production. Despite many promising proof-of-concept applications, transplastomic plants have not been commercialized to date. Sequence-specific nuclease technologies are widely used to precisely modify nuclear genomes, but these tools have not been applied to edit organelle genomes because the efficient homologous recombination system in plastids facilitates plastid genome editing. Unlike plastid transformation, successful genetic transformation of higher plant mitochondrial genome transformation was tested in several research group, but not successful to date. However, stepwise progress has been made in modifying mitochondrial genes and their transcripts, thus enabling the study of their functions. Here, we provide an overview of advances in organelle transformation and genome editing for crop improvement, and we discuss the bottlenecks and future development of these technologies.
