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

MAIN

conclusionThe GhEB1C gene of the EB1 protein family functions as microtubule end-binding protein and may be involved in the regulation of microtubule-related pathways to enhance resistance to Verticillium wilt. The expression of GhEB1C is induced by SA, also contributing to Verticillium wilt resistance. Cotton, as a crucial cash and oil crop, faces a significant threat from Verticillium wilt, a soil-borne disease induced by Verticillium dahliae, severely impacting cotton growth and development. Investigating genes associated with resistance to Verticillium wilt is paramount. We identified and performed a phylogenetic analysis on members of the EB1 family associated with Verticillium wilt in this work. GhEB1C was discovered by transcriptome screening and was studied for its function in cotton defense against V. dahliae. The RT-qPCR analysis revealed significant expression of the GhEB1C gene in cotton leaves. Subsequent localization analysis using transient expression demonstrated cytoplasmic localization of GhEB1C. VIGS experiments indicated that silencing of the GhEB1C gene significantly increased susceptibility of cotton to V. dahliae. Comparative RNA-seq analysis showed that GhEB1C silenced plants exhibited altered microtubule-associated protein pathways and flavonogen-associated pathways, suggesting a role for GhEB1C in defense mechanisms. Overexpression of tobacco resulted in enhanced resistance to V. dahliae as compared to wild-type plants. Furthermore, our investigation into the relationship between the GhEB1C gene and plant disease resistance hormones salicylic axid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) revealed the involvement of GhEB1C in the regulation of the SA pathway. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that GhEB1C plays a crucial role in conferring immunity to cotton against Verticillium wilt, providing valuable insights for further research on plant adaptability to pathogen invasion.
