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

In plants, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate disease resistance against fungi and other pathogens. However, the specific mechanism behind this regulation remains unclear. In this study, we identified disease resistance-related lncRNAs as well as their regulating genes and assessed their functions by infection of cotton (Gossypium) chromosome segment substitution lines with Verticillium dahliae. Our results demonstrated that lncRNA7 and its regulating gene Pectin methylesterase inhibitor 13 (GbPMEI13) positively regulated disease resistance via the silencing approach, while ectopic overexpression of GbPMEI13 in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) promoted growth and enhanced resistance to V. dahliae. In contrast, lncRNA2 and its regulating gene Polygalacturonase 12 (GbPG12) negatively regulated resistance to V. dahliae. We further found that fungal disease-related agents, including the pectin-derived oligogalacturonide (OG), could downregulate the expression of lncRNA2 and GbPG12, leading to pectin accumulation. Conversely, OG upregulated the expression of lncRNA7, which encodes a plant peptide phytosulfokine (PSK-α), which was confirmed by lncRNA7 overexpression and Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS) experiments. We showed that PSK-α promoted 3-Indoleacetic acid (IAA) accumulation and activated GbPMEI13 expression through Auxin Response Factor 5. Since it is an inhibitor of pectin methylesterase (PME), GbPMEI13 promotes pectin methylation and therefore increases the resistance to V. dahliae. Consistently, we also demonstrated that GbPMEI13 inhibits the mycelial growth and spore germination of V. dahliae in vitro. In this study, we demonstrated that lncRNA7, lncRNA2, and their regulating genes modulate cell wall defense against V. dahliae via auxin-mediated signaling, providing a strategy for cotton breeding.
