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

key messageA major and stable QTL for sterile florets per spike and sterile florets per spikelet was identified, it was mapped within a 2.22-Mb interval on chromosome 5AL, and the locus was validated using two segregating populations with different genetic backgrounds. Both the number of fertile florets per spike (FFS) and the number of sterile florets per spike (SFS) significantly influence the final yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and a trade-off theoretically exists between them. To enhance crop yield, wheat breeders have historically concentrated on easily measurable traits such as FFS, spikelets per spike, and spike length. Other traits of agronomic importance, including SFS and sterile florets per spikelet (SFPs), have been largely overlooked. In the study, reported here, genetic bases of SFS and SFPs were investigated based on the assessment of a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) population. The RIL population was developed by crossing a spontaneous mutant with higher SFS (msf) with the cultivar Chuannong 16. A total of 10 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified, with QSFS.sau-MC-5A for SFS and QSFPs.sau-MC-5A for SFPs being the major and stable ones, and they were co-located on the long arm of chromosome 5A. The locus was located within a 2.22-Mb interval, and it was further validated in two additional populations based on a tightly linked Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) marker, K_sau_5A_691403852. Expression differences and promoter sequence variations were observed between the parents for both TraesCS5A03G1247300 and TraesCS5A03G1250300. The locus of QSFS.sau-MC-5A/QSFPs.sau-MC-5A showed a significantly positive correlation with spike length, florets in the middle spikelet, and total florets per spike, but it showed no correlation with either kernel number per spike (KNS) or kernel weight per spike. Appropriate nitrogen fertilizer application led to reduced SFS and increased KNS, supporting results from previous reports on the positive effect of nitrogen fertilizer on wheat spike and floret development. Based on these results, we propose a promising approach for breeding wheat cultivars with multiple fertile florets per spike, which could increase the number of kernels per spike and potentially improve yield. Collectively, these findings will facilitate further fine mapping of QSFS.sau-MC-5A/QSFPs.sau-MC-5A and be instrumental in strategies to increase KNS, thereby enhancing wheat yield.
