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

Plants are increasingly vulnerable to environmental stresses because of global warming and climate change. Stress-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation results in plant cell damage, even cell death. Anthocyanins are important antioxidants that scavenge ROS to maintain ROS homeostasis. However, the mechanism underlying ROS-induced anthocyanin accumulation is unclear. In this study, we determined that the HD-Zip I family member transcription factor PuHB40 mediates ROS-dependent anthocyanin biosynthesis under high-light stress in pear (Pyrus ussuriensis). Specifically, PuHB40 induces the PuMYB123-like-PubHLH3 transcription factor complex for anthocyanin biosynthesis. The PuHB40-mediated transcriptional activation depends on its phosphorylation level, which is regulated by protein phosphatase PP2A. Elevated ROS content maintains high PuHB40 phosphorylation levels while also enhancing the PuHB40-induced PuMYB123-like transcription by decreasing the PuPP2AA2 expression, ultimately leading to increased anthocyanin biosynthesis. Our study reveals a pathway regulating the ROS-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in pears, further clarifying the mechanism underlying the abiotic stress-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis, which may have implications for improving plant stress tolerance.
