Unraveling the molecular mechanisms governing axillary meristem initiation in plants.
Review in Planta, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
MAIN
conclusionAxillary meristems (AMs) located in the leaf axils determine the number of shoots or tillers eventually formed, thus contributing significantly to the plant architecture and crop yields. The study of AM initiation is unavoidable and beneficial for crop productivity. Shoot branching is an undoubted determinant of plant architecture and thus greatly impacts crop yield due to the panicle-bearing traits of tillers. The emergence of the AM is essential for the incipient bud formation, and then the bud is dormant or outgrowth immediately to form a branch or tiller. While numerous reviews have focused on plant branching and tillering development networks, fewer specifically address AM initiation and its regulatory mechanisms. This review synthesizes the significant advancements in the genetic and hormonal factors governing AM initiation, with a primary focus on studies conducted in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.). In particular, by elaborating on critical genes like LATERAL SUPPRESSOR (LAS), which specifically regulates AM initiation and the networks in which they are involved, we attempt to unify the cascades through which they are positioned. We concentrate on clarifying the precise mutual regulation between shoot apical meristem (SAM) and AM-related factors. Additionally, we examine challenges in elucidating AM formation mechanisms alongside opportunities provided by emerging omics approaches to identify AM-specific genes. By expanding our comprehension of the genetic and hormonal regulation of AM development, we can develop strategies to optimize crop production and address global food challenges effectively.
