Genome-wide identification of WD40 transcription factors and their regulation of the MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) complex related to anthocyanin synthesis in Qingke (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum Hook. f.).
Article in BMC genomics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
backgroundWD40 transcription factors, a large gene family in eukaryotes, are involved in a variety of growth regulation and development pathways. WD40 plays an important role in the formation of MYB-bHLH-WD (MBW) complexes associated with anthocyanin synthesis, but studies of Qingke barley are lacking.
resultsIn this study, 164 barley HvWD40 genes were identified in the barley genome and were analyzed to determine their relevant bioinformatics. The 164 HvWD40 were classified into 11 clusters and 14 subfamilies based on their structural and phylogenetic protein profiles. Co-lineage analysis revealed that there were 43 pairs between barley and rice, and 56 pairs between barley and maize. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that the molecular function, biological process, and cell composition were enriched. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) results showed that the RNA transport pathway was mainly enriched. Based on the identification and analysis of the barley WD40 family and the transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) results, we found that HvWD40-140 (WD40 family; Gene ID: r1G058730), HvANT1 (MYB family; Gene ID: HORVU7Hr1G034630), and HvANT2 (bHLH family; Gene ID: HORVU2Hr1G096810) were important components of the MBW complex related to anthocyanin biosynthesis in Qingke, which was verified via quantitative real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), subcellular location, yeast two-hybrid (Y2H), and bimolecular fluorescent complimentary (BiFC) and dual-luciferase assay analyses.
conclusionsIn this study, we identified 164 HvWD40 genes in barley and found that HvnANT1, HvnANT2, and HvWD40-140 can form an MBW complex and regulate the transcriptional activation of the anthocyanin synthesis related structural gene HvDFR. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for further study of the mechanism of HvWD40-140 in the MBW complex related to anthocyanin synthesis in Qingke.
