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 possess a robust and sophisticated innate immune system against pathogens and must balance growth with rapid pathogen detection and defense. The intracellular receptors with nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) motifs recognize pathogen-derived effector proteins and thereby trigger the immune response. The expression of genes encoding NLR receptors is precisely controlled in multifaceted ways. The alternative splicing (AS) of introns in response to infection is recurrently observed but poorly understood. Here we report that the potato (Solanum tuberosum) NLR gene RB undergoes AS of its intron, resulting in 2 transcriptional isoforms, which coordinately regulate plant immunity and growth homeostasis. During normal growth, RB predominantly exists as an intron-retained isoform RB_IR, encoding a truncated protein containing only the N-terminus of the NLR. Upon late blight infection, the pathogen induces intron splicing of RB, increasing the abundance of RB_CDS, which encodes a full-length and active R protein. By deploying the RB splicing isoforms fused with a luciferase reporter system, we identified IPI-O1 (also known as Avrblb1), the RB cognate effector, as a facilitator of RB AS. IPI-O1 directly interacts with potato splicing factor StCWC15, resulting in altered localization of StCWC15 from the nucleoplasm to the nucleolus and nuclear speckles. Mutations in IPI-O1 that eliminate StCWC15 binding also disrupt StCWC15 re-localization and RB intron splicing. Thus, our study reveals that StCWC15 serves as a surveillance facilitator that senses the pathogen-secreted effector and regulates the trade-off between RB-mediated plant immunity and growth, expanding our understanding of molecular plant-microbe interactions.
