Genome-wide analysis of TCP family genes and their constitutive expression pattern analysis in the melon (Cucumis melo).
Article in Genes & genomics, 2025. 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
backgroundTCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that play essential roles in various developmental processes, including leaf morphogenesis and senescence, flowering, lateral branching, hormone crosstalk, and stress responses. However, a comprehensive analysis of genome-wide TCP genes and their expression patterns in melon is yet to be done.
objectiveThe present study aims to identify and analyze the TCP genes in the melon genome and understand their putative functions.
methodsThe chromosomal location, gene structure, conserved motifs, protein domains, structural homology, cis-regulating elements, transcript expression patterns, and potential protein-protein interactions were analyzed using various databases and webtools.
resultsA total of 29 putative TCP genes are identified in melon. These genes were classified into two classes: Class-I (13 genes) and Class-II (16 genes). The results revealed that the putative CmTCP genes are distributed across nine of the twelve melon chromosomes and exhibit diverse expression patterns in different tissues which mostly indicates their potential role in floral organ development, lateral branching, growth and development. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that some CmTCP genes may have similar functions to their homologs in other plant species, while others may have undergone functional diversification.
conclusionThis study paves the way for future investigations into the specific roles of individual CmTCP genes in melon and for elucidating the mechanisms by which TCP proteins regulate leaf elongation, floral development, and lateral branching.
