Flavones enrich rhizosphere Pseudomonas to enhance nitrogen utilization and secondary root growth in Populus.

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
Plant growth behavior is a function of genetic network architecture. The importance of root microbiome variation driving plant functional traits is increasingly recognized, but the genetic mechanisms governing this variation are less studied. Here, we collect roots and rhizosphere soils from nine Populus species belonging to four sections (Leuce, Aigeiros, Tacamahaca, and Turanga), generate metabolite and transcription data for roots and microbiota data for rhizospheres, and conduct comprehensive multi-omics analyses. We demonstrate that the roots of vigorous Leuce poplar enrich more Pseudomonas, compared with the poorly performing poplar. Moreover, we confirm that Pseudomonas is strongly associated with tricin and apigenin biosynthesis and identify that gene GLABRA3 (GL3) is critical for tricin secretion. The elevated tricin secretion via constitutive transcription of PopGL3 and Chalcone synthase (PopCHS4) can drive Pseudomonas colonization in the rhizosphere and further enhance poplar growth, nitrogen acquisition, and secondary root development in nitrogen-poor soil. This study reveals that plant-metabolite-microbe regulation patterns contribute to the poplar fitness and thoroughly decodes the key regulatory mechanisms of tricin, and provides insights into the interactions of the plant's key metabolites with its transcriptome and rhizosphere microbes.
