Functional characterization of Arabidopsis hydroxynitrile lyase in response to abiotic stress and the regulation of flowering time.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHydroxynitrile lyases (HNLs) are a class of hydrolytic enzymes from a wide range of sources, which play crucial roles in the catalysis of the reversible conversion of carbonyl compounds derived from cyanide and free cyanide in cyanogenic plant species. HNLs were also discovered in non-cyanogenic plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, and their roles remain unclear even during plant growth and reproduction. METHODS AND
resultsThe pattern of expression of the HNL in A. thaliana (AtHNL) in different tissues, as well as under abiotic stresses and hormone treatments, was examined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) and an AtHNL promoter-driven histochemical β-glucuronidase (GUS) assay. AtHNL is highly expressed in flowers and siliques, and the expression of AtHNL was dramatically affected by abiotic stresses and hormone treatments. The overexpression of AtHNL resulted in transgenic A. thaliana seedlings that were more tolerance to mannitol and salinity. Moreover, transgenic lines of A. thaliana that overexpressed this gene were less sensitive to abscisic acid (ABA). Altered expression of ABA/stress responsive genes was also observed in hnl mutant and AtHNL-overexpressing plants, suggesting AtHNL may play functional roles on regulating Arabidopsis resistance to ABA and abiotic stresses by affecting ABA/stress responsive gene expression. In addition, the overexpression of AtHNL resulted in earlier flowering, whereas the AtHNL mutant flowered later than the wild type (WT) plants. The expression of the floral stimulators CONSTANS (CO), SUPPRESSOR OF OVER EXPRESSION OF CO 1 (SOC1) and FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) was upregulated in plants that overexpressed AtHNL when compared with the WT plants. In contrast, expression of the floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) was upregulated in AtHNL mutants and downregulated in plants that overexpressed AtHNL compared to the WT plants.
conclusionThis study revealed that AtHNL can be induced under abiotic stresses and ABA treatment, and genetic analysis showed that AtHNL could also act as a positive regulator of abiotic stress and ABA tolerance, as well as flowering time.
