Diploid aposporous sunflower forms triploid BIII progeny displaying increased apospory levels and non-random genetic mutations.

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
Apomixis (asexual reproduction via seeds) has the potential to revolutionize sunflower breeding. In previous studies, we identified a diploid sunflower line (Rf975) that naturally exhibits extra gametophytes resembling aposporous apomictic embryo sacs (AES). Here, we investigated the nature (reduced vs. unreduced) and viability of these AES-like gametophytes by examining the formation of triploid (3x) BIII hybrids (2n + n) in the progeny of Rf975. Flow cytometry analysis of immature seeds revealed that, on average, 42.8% of self-pollinated Rf975 progeny were triploids, although only 36.6% of them reached maturity. Cytoembryological analysis showed that 100% of triploids exhibited some degree of apospory, with an average expressivity of 61.9%. Abnormal pollen grains and limited viable seeds were also noted.
