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

Chloroplasts regulate plant development and immunity. Here we report that potato chloroplast elongation factors StTuA and StTuB, targeted by Phytophthora infestans RXLR effector Pi22926, positively regulate immunity and growth. Plants expressing Pi22926, or silenced for TuA/B, show increased P. infestans susceptibility and decreased photosynthesis, plant growth and tuber yield. By contrast, StTuA/B overexpression reduces susceptibility, elevates chloroplast-derived reactive oxygen species production and increases photosynthesis and potato tuber yield by enhancing chloroplast protein translation. Another plant target of Pi22926, StMAP3Kβ2, interacts with StTuB, phosphorylating it to promote its translocation into chloroplasts. However, Pi22926 attenuates StTuB association with StMAP3Kβ2 and phosphorylation. This reduces StTuB translocation into chloroplasts, leading to its proteasome-mediated turnover in the cytoplasm. We uncover new mechanisms by which a pathogen effector inhibits immunity by disrupting key chloroplast functions. This work shows that StTuA/B break the growth-immunity trade-off, promoting both disease resistance and yield, revealing the enormous potential of chloroplast biology in crop breeding.
