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

backgroundThe ability of plants to withstand and thrive in an adverse environment is crucial to ensure their survivability and yield performance. The WRKY transcription factors (TFs) have crucial roles in plant growth, development and stress response, particularly drought stress. In oil palm, drought is recognized as one of the major yield limiting factors. However, the roles of WRKY TFs in the drought response of oil palm is unclear.

resultsHerein, we studied the transcriptome of drought treated oil palm leaf and identified 40 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of WRKY TFs, of which 32 DEGs were upregulated and 8 DEGs were downregulated in response to drought stress in oil palm. They were categorized into Groups I to IV based on the numbers of WRKY domain and the structural difference in the zinc finger domain. Multiple stress- and hormone-responsive cis-regulatory elements were detected in the drought responsive oil palm EgWRKY (Dro-EgWRKY) genes. Fourteen of the 15 selected oil palm WRKY (EgWRKY) genes demonstrated a tissue-specific expression profile except for EgWRKY28 (Group I), which was expressed in all tissues tested. The expression levels of 15 candidate EgWRKYs were upregulated upon salinity and heat treatments, while several genes were also inducible by abscisic acid, methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid and hydrogen peroxide treatments. Members of the Group III WRKY TFs including EgWRKY07, 26, 40, 52, 59, 73 and 81 displayed multiple roles in drought- and salinity-response under the modulation of phytohormones.

conclusionsEgWRKY TFs of oil palm are involved in phytohormones and abiotic stress responses including drought, salinity and heat. EgWRKY07, 26, 59 and 81 from Group III maybe important regulators in modulating responses of different abiotic stresses. Further functional analysis is required to understand the underlying mechanism of WRKY TFs in the regulatory network of drought stress.
