Genome-wide identification, classification, and expression profiling of LAC gene family in sesame.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundLaccases (LACs) are vital plant growth and development enzymes, participating in lignin biopolymerization and responding to stress. However, the role of LAC genes in plant development as well as stress tolerance, is still not well understood, particularly in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), an important oilseed crop.
resultsIn this study, 51 sesame LAC genes (SiLACs) were identified, which were unevenly distributed across different chromosomes. The phylogeny of Arabidopsis LAC (AtLACs) subdivided the SiLAC proteins into seven subgroups (Groups I-VII), of which Group VII contained only sesame LACs. Within the same subgroup, SiLACs exhibit comparable structures and conserved motifs. The promoter region of SiLACs harbors various cis-acting elements that are related to plant growth, phytohormones, and stress responses. Most SiLACs were expressed in the roots and stems, whereas some were expressed specifically in flowers or seeds. RNA-seq analysis revealed that 19 SiLACs exhibited down-regulation and three showed up-regulation in response to drought stress, while 15 SiLACs were down-regulated and four up-regulated under salt stress. Additionally, qRT-PCR analysis showcased that certain SiLAC expression was significantly upregulated as a result of osmotic and salt stress. SiLAC5 and SiLAC17 exhibited the most significant changes in expression under osmotic and salt stresses, indicating that they may serve as potential targets for improving sesame resistance to various stresses.
conclusionsOur study offers a thorough comprehension of LAC gene structure, classification, evolution, and abiotic stress response in sesame plants. Furthermore, we provide indispensable genetic resources for sesame functional characterization to enhance its tolerance to various abiotic stresses.
