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

backgroundsThe narrow genetic basis of cucumber makes breeding of this species difficult. CRISPR/Cas9 system is  characteristic of  simple design, low cost and  high efficiency, which has opened a new path for cucumber functional genetics and the development of cucumber mocular breeding. However, the immature genetic transformation system is the main limiting factor for applying this technology in cucumber. METHODS AND

resultsIn this study, a Histochemical β-glucuronidase (GUS) assay was used to analyze the effect of various parameters, including slight scratch of explants, pre-culture time, acetosyringone (AS) concentration, infection time in Agrobacterium solution, and co-culture period on the transformation efficiency. The results showed that the explants slightly scratched after cutting, pre-cultured for 1 day, Agrobacterium bacterial solution containing AS, and 20 min length of infection could significantly increase the GUS staining rate of explants. On this basis, two sequences with high specificity (sgRNA-1 and sgRNA-2) targeted different loci of gene CsGCN5 were designed. The corresponding vectors Cas9-sgRNA-1 and Cas9-sgRNA-2 were constructed and transformed using the above-optimized cucumber genetic transformation system, and three and two PCR positive lines were obtained from 210 and 207 explants, respectively. No sequence mutation at target loci of CsGCN5 was detected in the Cas9-sgRNA-1 transformed three PCR positive lines. However, one mutant line with targeted homozygous change was recognized from the Cas9-sgRNA-2 transformed two PCR positive lines.

conclusionIn this study, 2.4‰ of total explants had directed mutation in the CsGCN5 gene. The results in the present study would be beneficial to further optimize and improve the efficiency of the genetic transformation of cucumber.
