MAP30 transgenic tobacco lines: from silencing to inducing.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic event that regulates gene expression. In addition to DNA methylation, transgene copy number may induce gene silencing. Therefore, the study of these cases is useful for understanding of gene silencing regulation. METHODS AND
resultsIn this study, the methylation pattern of 35S promoter was investigated in the second generation of MAP30 transgenic tobacco lines. Therefore, the genomic DNA melting curve changes were investigated before and after bisulfite treatment by real time PCR. To determine the exact position of methylation, the samples were sequenced after bisulfite treatment. Observation of decrease in DNA melting curve of expressing line in comparison with silenced line confirmed the presence of DNA methylation in silenced line. In order to induce the MAP30 expression, the silenced line was treated using different concentrations of Azacytidine and green tea extracts. The results showed that all concentrations of green tea extracts for 6 days and the concentrations of 3 and 10 μM Azacytidine for 10 and 3 days could induce the expression of MAP30 in silenced line respectively. Finally, the transgene copy number was estimated using real time PCR, as silenced line contained more than two copies while the lines expressing MAP30 contained only one or two copies.
conclusionsFinally, we found that the presence of DNA methylation and also multiple gene copy numbers in silenced line have been led to gene silencing. Moreover, the effect of green tea extract on DNA methylation showed incredible results for the first time.
