Assessment of genetic structure and trait associations of Watkins wheat landraces under Egyptian field conditions.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 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
Background: Wheat landraces represent a reservoir of genetic diversity that can support wheat improvement through breeding. A core panel of 300 Watkins wheat landraces, as well as 16 non-Watkins landraces and elite wheat cultivars, was grown during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons at four Agricultural Research Stations in Egypt, Gemmiza, Nubaria, Sakha, and Sids, to evaluate the core panel for agromorphological and yield-related traits. The genetic population structure within these genotypes were assessed using 35,143 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Results: Cluster analyses using Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC) and k-means revealed three clusters with moderate genetic differentiation and population structure, possibly due to wheat breeding systems and geographical isolation. The best ancestry was k = 4, but k = 2 and k = 3 were also significant. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified clustered marker trait associations (MTAs) linked to thousand kernel weight on chromosome 5A, plant height on chromosomes 3B and 1D, days to heading on chromosomes 2A, 4B, 5B and 1D, and plant maturity on chromosomes 3A, 2B, and 6B. In the future, these MTAs can be used to accelerate the incorporation of beneficial alleles into locally adapted germplasm through marker-assisted selection. Gene enrichment analysis identified key genes within these loci, including Reduced height-1 (Rht-A1) and stress-related genes. Conclusion: These findings underscore significant genetic connections and the involvement of crucial biological pathways.
