Genome-wide exploration of the CONSTANS-like (COL) gene family and its potential role in regulating plant flowering time in foxtail millet (Setaria italica).
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In photoperiod-sensitive plants, the CO-like gene (CONSTANS-like, COL) has a crucial function in regulating the timing of flowering. The blooming period in foxtail millet is greatly influenced by the duration of daylight; however, there is a scarcity of data regarding the molecular properties of the COL genes in the foxtail millet. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the COL gene family in foxtail millet at the genome-wide level. We identified 11 SiCOL genes and performed gene structure analysis, which showed pronounced variation in gene length and intron number among the genes. The examination of COL proteins in foxtail millet and other plant species using phylogenetic analysis revealed that they could be clustered into three distinct groups. Cis-element analysis identified elements related to light-responsiveness, hormones, and abiotic stress in the promoter region of the SiCOL gene. Furthermore, tissue-specific expression analysis showed widespread expression of all 11 SiCOL genes in various foxtail millet tissues and organs, particularly in leaves and panicles. Collinearity analysis identified 14 syntenic gene pairs in both foxtail millet and rice. The results also revealed diurnal oscillations in the transcription levels of SiCOL genes under different light conditions. Moreover, among the 11 genes, SiCO, SiCOL1, and SiCOL6 expression levels were negatively correlated with flowering time variation in two foxtail cultivars. Additionally, upon constructing a network of predicted molecular interactions, FLOWER LOCUS-like (FTL) and Phytochromea A (PHY A) were suggested to potentially interact with SiCO, SiCOL1, and SiCOL6. SiCO, SiCOL1, and SiCOL6 have the potential for flowering and heading in foxtail millet. This research enhances our comprehension of the role and control of the SiCOL gene family constituents in foxtail millet, establishing a basis for future investigations.
