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

The F-box protein Coronatine Insensitive (COI) is a receptor for the jasmonic acid signaling pathway in plants. To investigate the functions of the 6 maize (Zea mays) COI proteins (COI1a, COI1b, COI1c, COI1d, COI2a, and COI2b), we generated single, double, and quadruple loss-of-function mutants. The pollen of the coi2a coi2b double mutant was inviable. The coi1 quadruple mutant (coi1-4x) exhibited shorter internodes, decreased photosynthesis, leaf discoloration, microelement deficiencies, and accumulation of DWARF8 and/or DWARF9, 2 DELLA family proteins that repress the gibberellic acid (GA) signaling pathway. Coexpression of COI and DELLA in Nicotiana benthamiana showed that the COI proteins trigger proteasome-dependent DELLA degradation. Many genes that are downregulated in the coi1-4x mutant are GA-inducible. In addition, most of the proteins encoded by the downregulated genes are predicted to be bundle sheath- or mesophyll-enriched, including those encoding C4-specific photosynthetic enzymes. Heterologous expression of maize Coi genes in N. benthamiana showed that COI2a is nucleus-localized and interacts with maize jasmonate zinc-finger inflorescence meristem domain (JAZ) proteins, the canonical COI repressor partners. However, maize COI1a and COI1c showed only partial nuclear localization and reduced binding efficiency to the tested JAZ proteins. Together, these results show the divergent functions of the 6 COI proteins in regulating maize growth and defense pathways.
