Plasma membrane-localized hexose transporter OsSWEET1b, affects sugar metabolism and leaf senescence.
Article in Plant cell reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
key messageOsSWEET1b is a hexose transporter protein, which localized in cell membranes and interacting with itself to form homodimer and knockout of OsSWEET1b resulted in reduced leaves sugar content and accelerating leaf senescence. In the rice genome, the SWEET gene family contains 21 homologous members, but the role of some of them in rice growth and development is still unknown. The function of the sugar transporter OsSWEET1b protein in rice was identified in this research. Expression analysis showed that the expression levels of OsSWEET1b in leaves were higher than that in other tissues. The hexose transport experiment confirmed that OsSWEET1b has glucose and galactose transporter activity in yeast. Subcellular localization indicates that OsSWEET1b protein was targeted to the plasma membrane and BiFC analysis showed that OsSWEET1b interacts with itself to form homodimers. Functional analysis demonstrated that the ossweet1b mutant plants were have reduced the sucrose, glucose, fructose, starch and galactose contents, and induced carbon starvation-related gene expression, which might lead to carbon starvation in leaves at filling stage. The ossweet1b knockout plants showed decreased chlorophyll content and antioxidant enzyme activity, and increased ROS accumulation in leaves, leading to leaf cell death and premature senescence phenotype at filling stage. In ossweet1b mutants, the leaf senescence-related gene expression levels were increased and the abundance of photosynthesis-related proteins was decreased. Loss of OsSWEET1b were affected the starch, sucrose metabolism and carbon fixation in photosynthetic organelles pathway by RNA-seq analysis. The destruction of OsSWEET1b function will cause sugar starvation, decreased photosynthesis and leaf senescence, which leading to reduced rice yield. Collectively, our results suggest that the OsSWEET1b plays a key role in rice leaves carbohydrate metabolism and leaf senescence.
