SlMIR164A regulates fruit ripening and quality by controlling SlNAM2 and SlNAM3 in tomato.
Article in Plant biotechnology journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
MiRNAs are important posttranscriptional regulators of plant development. Many miRNAs, such as the conserved miR164 species, are encoded by families of MIRNA genes, but the specific roles of individual MIRNA genes are largely undefined. Here, we characterize the functions and regulatory mechanisms of SlMIR164A, one of the primary genes of Sly-miR164, in tomato. We show that SlMIR164A is preferentially expressed at late stages of fruit development and plays a vital role in controlling fruit ripening and quality. Loss of function of SlMIR164A by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis results in accelerated fruit ripening and enhanced chloroplast development, which leads to altered sugar and organic acid contents and affects the nutritional quality of fruits. We also show that SlMIR164A modulates fruit ripening and quality through specific target genes, SlNAM2 and SlNAM3, which control key regulators of chloroplast function and fruit ripening processes. MIR164 genes have been shown to play conserved roles in regulating organ ageing, such as leaf senescence and fruit ripening, in a variety of plants, but whether and how their family members in tomato exert the same function remain to be elucidated. Our results reveal a previously undiscovered role of SlMIR164A in ripening control, which will further our understanding of the actions of MIR164 family, as well as the mechanisms of fruit ripening and quality control in tomato. Moreover, as loss of SlMIR164A exhibits minor impacts on organ morphology, our results can be leveraged in tomato breeding for specific manipulation of fruit ripening and quality to facilitate tomato improvement in agriculture.
