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

Wheat stripe rust, caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), threatens global wheat production, and therefore discovering genes involved in stripe rust susceptibility is essential for balancing yield with disease resistance in sustainable breeding strategies. Although TaGW2 is well known to negatively regulate wheat kernel size and weight, its role in stress response remains unclear. Here, we found that TaGW2 transcription levels increased following inoculation with Pst or treatment with flg22 or chitin. TaGW2 knockdown lines showed enhanced resistance to multiple Pst races, while TaGW2 overexpression reduced host defence response, promoted Pst growth and development and increased wheat susceptibility to Pst. Additionally, TaGW2 could mediate the ubiquitination and degradation of both TaSnRK1γ and TaVPS24 via the 26S proteasome pathway. Silencing TaSnRK1γ or TaVPS24 in wheat increased sensitivity to Pst, whereas overexpressing either gene enhanced wheat defence response, indicating that TaSnRK1γ and TaVPS24 act as positive regulators of Pst resistance. This study reveals a previously unrecognized mechanism inhibiting plant immunity to Pst through TaGW2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of TaSnRK1γ and TaVPS24. This work also provides crucial genetic resources for breeding high-yield, stripe rust-resistant wheat varieties.
