Transcriptome changes associated with boron applications in fruits of watercore-susceptible pear cultivar.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWatercore is a common physiological disorder in pear and is closely related to the excessive accumulation of sorbitol and sucrose. Our previous research found that the incidence of watercore in 'Akibae' (Pyrus pyrifolia cv. Akibae) fruit significantly decreased after boron application (BA). Moreover, the foliar spray of boric acid also significantly improved fruit quality. However, the mechanisms underlying the pear fruit response to BA was still limited. METHODS AND
resultsA comprehensive transcriptome analysis of BA treatment 'Akibae' pear fruit was performed in this study. Transcriptome results revealed a total of 3146 up-regulated and 1145 down-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between control and treated fruits of 'Akibae' pear. BA significantly induced the expression of sorbitol metabolism and sucrose metabolism genes. In addition, BA also increased the expression of starch degradation, fatty acid synthesis, IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) degradation, and GA (gibberellin acid) synthesis genes and inhibited the expression of ethylene synthesis genes.
conclusionsThese findings suggested that BA probably alleviates 'Akibae' watercore occurrence and improves fruit quality by regulating the decrease in sorbitol and sucrose, the increase in fatty acids and the balance of plant hormones. Our results provide further information for understanding the molecular mechanism of the effect of BA on pear fruit.
