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

backgroundPhosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C proteins mediate environmental stress responses in many plants. However, the potential of PI-PLC genes involved with abiotic stress tolerance in wheat remains un-explored.

objectiveTo study TaPLC1 genetic relation with wheat drought and heat resistance.

methodsThe seedlings were treated with PI-PLC inhibitor U73122 at the single leaf stage. The seedlings were treated with drought and heat stress at the two leaf stage, and some physiological indexes and the expression profile of TaPLC1 gene were determined. And the TaPLC1 overexpression vector was transferred to Arabidopsis and selected to T3 generation for drought and heat stress treatment.

resultsAfter 4 h of drought and heat stress, the SOD activity, MDA and soluble sugar content of the two cultivars with inhibitor were higher than those without inhibitor, the chlorophyll content decreased. CS seedlings showed significant wilting phenomenon, and TAM107 showed slight wilting. After the elimination of drought and heat stress, all seedling wilting gradually recovered, while the leaf tips of the two varieties treated with inhibitors began to wilt and turn yellow, which was more significant 5 days after the drought and heat stress, while the degree of spring wilting and yellow in CS was earlier than that in TAM107. The expression patterns of TaPLC1 gene were different in the two cultivars, but the expression levels reached the maximum at 30 min of heat stress. The change of TaPLC1 expression in TAM107 without inhibitor treatment was significantly greater than that in CS. The expression level of TaPLC1 in the two cultivars under stress was significantly different between the two cultivars treated with inhibitor and untreated, and was lower than that of the normal plants under normal conditions. These results indicated that inhibition of TaPLC1 gene expression could enhance the sensitivity of seedlings to stress. In Arabidopsis, the root lengths of transgenic and wild-type seedlings were shortened after drought stress treatment, but the root lengths of transgenic plants decreased slightly. And the expression of TaPLC1 gene was significantly increased after drought and heat stress. This indicated that overexpression of TaPLC1 improved drought resistance of Arabidopsis.

conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that TaPLC1 may be involved in the regulation mechanism of drought and heat stress in wheat.
