A MYB-related transcription factor regulates effector gene expression in an oomycete pathogen.

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
Phytophthora pathogens possess hundreds of effector genes that exhibit diverse expression patterns during infection, yet how the expression of effector genes is precisely regulated remains largely elusive. Previous studies have identified a few potential conserved transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) in the promoters of Phytophthora effector genes. Here, we report a MYB-related protein, PsMyb37, in Phytophthora sojae, the major causal agent of root and stem rot in soybean. Yeast one-hybrid and electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that PsMyb37 binds to the TACATGTA motif, the most prevalent TFBS in effector gene promoters. The knockout mutant of PsMyb37 exhibited significantly reduced virulence on soybean and was more sensitive to oxidative stress. Consistently, transcriptome analysis showed that numerous effector genes associated with suppressing plant immunity or scavenging reactive oxygen species were down-regulated in the PsMyb37 knockout mutant during infection compared to the wild-type P. sojae. Several promoters of effector genes were confirmed to drive the expression of luciferase in a reporter assay. These results demonstrate that a MYB-related transcription factor contributes to the expression of effector genes in P. sojae.
