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

The degradation products of glucosinolates (GSLs) greatly lower the nutritional value of rapeseed (Brassica napus) meal; thus, reduction of seed GSL content (SGC) has become an important objective of rapeseed breeding. In our previous study, we finely mapped a major QTL (qGSL-C2) for SGC to a 49-kb collinear region on B. rapa chromosome A2. Here, we experimentally validated that BnaC2.MYB28, encoding an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, is the causal gene of qGSL-C2. BnaC2.MYB28 is a nucleus-localized protein mainly expressed in vegetative tissues. Knockout of BnaC2.MYB28 in the high-SGC parent G120 reduced SGC to a value lower than that in the low-SGC parent ZY50, while overexpression of BnaC2.MYB28 in both parental lines (G120 and ZY50) led to extremely high SGC, indicating that BnaC2.MYB28 acts as a positive regulator of SGC in both parents. Molecular characterization revealed that BnaC2.MYB28 forms a homodimer and specifically interacts with BnaMYC3. Moreover, BnaC2.MYB28 can directly activate the expression of GSL biosynthesis genes. Differential expression abundance resulting from the polymorphic promoter sequences, in combination with the different capability in activating downstream genes involved in aliphatic GSL biosynthesis, caused the functional divergence of BnaC2.MYB28 in SGC regulation between the parents. Natural variation of BnaC2.MYB28 was highly associated with SGC in natural germplasm and has undergone artificial selection in modern low-GSL breeding. This study provides important insights into the core function of BnaC2.MYB28 in regulating SGC and a promising strategy for manipulating SGC in rapeseed.
