miR169q and NUCLEAR FACTOR YA8 enhance salt tolerance by activating PEROXIDASE1 expression in response to ROS.
Article in Plant physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 papers.
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
Salt stress significantly reduces the productivity of crop plants including maize (Zea mays). miRNAs are major regulators of plant growth and stress responses, but few studies have examined the potential impacts of miRNAs on salt stress responses in maize. Here, we show that ZmmiR169q is responsive to stress-induced ROS signals. After detecting that salt stress and exogenous H2O2 treatment reduced the accumulation of ZmmiR169q, stress assays with transgenic materials showed that depleting ZmmiR169q increased seedling salt tolerance whereas overexpressing ZmmiR169q decreased salt tolerance. Helping explain these observations, we found that ZmmiR169q repressed the transcript abundance of its target NUCLEAR FACTOR YA8 (ZmNF-YA8), and overexpression of ZmNF-YA8 in maize improved salt tolerance, specifically by transcriptionally activating the expression of the efficient antioxidant enzyme PEROXIDASE1. Our study reveals a direct functional link between salt stress and a miR169q-NF-YA8 regulatory module that plants use to manage ROS stress and strongly suggests that ZmNF-YA8 can be harnessed as a resource for developing salt-tolerant crop varieties.
