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

Transient transgenic expression accelerates pharming and facilitates protein studies in plants. One embodiment of the approach involves leaf infiltration of Agrobacterium strains whose T-DNA is engineered with the gene(s) of interest. However, gene expression during 'agro-infiltration' is intrinsically and universally impeded by the onset of post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS). Nearly 20 years ago, a simple method was developed, whereby co-expression of the tombusvirus-encoded P19 protein suppresses PTGS and thus enhances transient gene expression. Yet, how PTGS is activated and suppressed by P19 during the process has remained unclear to date. Here, we address these intertwined questions in a manner also rationalizing how vastly increased protein yields are achieved using a minimal viral replicon as a transient gene expression vector. We also explore, in side-by-side analyses, why some proteins do not accumulate to the expected high levels in the assay, despite vastly increased mRNA levels. We validate that enhanced co-expression of multiple constructs is achieved within the same transformed cells, and illustrate how the P19 system allows rapid protein purification for optimized downstream in vitro applications. Finally, we assess the suitability of the P19 system for subcellular localization studies - an originally unanticipated, yet increasingly popular application - and uncover shortcomings of this specific implement. In revisiting the P19 system using contemporary knowledge, this study sheds light onto its hitherto poorly understood mechanisms while further illustrating its versatility but also some of its limits.
