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

Powdery mildew (PM) disease, caused by the obligate biotrophic fungal pathogen Podosphaera xanthii, is the most reported and destructive disease on cultivated Cucurbita species all over the world. Recently, the appearance of highly aggressive P. xanthii isolates has led to PM outbreaks even in resistant crops, making disease management a very difficult task. To challenge this, breeders rely on genetic characteristics for PM control. Analysis of commercially available intermediate resistance courgette (Cucurbita pepo L. var. cylindrica) varieties using cytological, molecular, and biochemical approaches showed that the plants were under a primed state and induced systemic acquired resistance (SAR) responses, exhibiting enhanced callose production, upregulation of salicylic acid (SA) defense signaling pathway genes, and accumulation of SA and defense metabolites. Additionally, the intermediate resistant varieties showed an altered epigenetic landscape in histone marks that affect transcriptional activation. We demonstrated that courgette plants had enriched H3K4me3 marks on SA-BINDING PROTEIN 2 and YODA (YDA) genes of the Pm-0 interval introgression, a genomic region that confers resistant to Cucurbits against P. xanthii. The open chromatin of SA-BINDING PROTEIN 2 and YDA genes was consistent with genes' differential expression, induced SA pathway, altered stomata characteristics, and activated SAR responses. These findings demonstrate that the altered epigenetic landscape of the intermediate resistant varieties modulates the activation of SA-BINDING PROTEIN 2 and YDA genes leading to induced gene transcription that primes courgette plants.
