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

key messageThis study focused on the role of CLE1-7 peptides as defense mediators, and showed that root-expressed CLE3 functions as a systemic signal to regulate defense-related gene expression in shoots. In the natural environment, plants employ diverse signaling molecules including peptides to defend themselves against various pathogen attacks. In this study, we investigated whether CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-RELATED (CLE) genes (CLE1-7) respond to biotic stimuli. CLE3 showed significant up-regulation upon treatment with flg22, Pep2, and salicylic acid (SA). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that CLE3 expression is regulated by the NON-EXPRESSOR OF PR GENES1 (NPR1)-dependent SA signaling and flg22-FLAGELLIN-SENSITIVE 2 (FLS2) signaling pathways. We demonstrated that SA-induced up-regulation of CLE3 in roots was required for activation of WRKY33, a gene involved in the regulation of systemic acquired resistance (SAR), in shoots, suggesting that CLE3 functions as a root-derived signal that regulates the expression of defense-related genes in shoots. Microarray analysis of transgenic Arabidopsis lines overexpressing CLE3 under the control of a β-estradiol-inducible promoter revealed that root-confined CLE3 overexpression affected gene expression in both roots and shoots. Comparison of CLE2- and CLE3-induced genes indicated that CLE2 and CLE3 peptides target a few common but largely distinct downstream genes. These results suggest that root-derived CLE3 is involved in the regulation of systemic rather than local immune responses. Our study also sheds light on the potential role of CLE peptides in long-distance regulation of plant immunity.
