High water use efficiency due to maintenance of photosynthetic capacity in sorghum under water stress.
Article in Journal of experimental botany, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Environmental change requires more crop production per water use to meet the rising global food demands. However, improving crop intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) usually comes at the expense of carbon assimilation. Sorghum is a key crop in many vulnerable agricultural systems with higher tolerance to water stress (WS) than most widely planted crops. To investigate physiological controls on iWUE and its inheritance in sorghum, we screened 89 genotypes selected based on inherited haplotypes from an elite line or five exotics lines, containing a mix of geographical origins and dry versus milder climates, which included different aquaporin (AQP) alleles. We found significant variation among key highly heritable gas exchange and hydraulic traits, with some being significantly affected by variation in haplotypes among parental lines. Plants with a higher proportion of the non-stomatal component of iWUE still maintained iWUE under WS by maintaining photosynthetic capacity, independently of reduction in leaf hydraulic conductance. Haplotypes associated with two AQPs (SbPIP1.1 and SbTIP3.2) influenced iWUE and related traits. These findings expand the range of traits that bridge the trade-off between iWUE and productivity in C4 crops, and provide possible genetic regions that can be targeted for breeding.
