1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Lettuce is one of the most important vegetables worldwide. Bolting time is an important agronomic trait in lettuce production. Premature bolting reduces crop quality and marketability. Here, we genetically clone the LsBLH2 gene controlling bolting time in lettuce. LsBLH2 encodes a BEL1-like homeodomain protein. In the late bolting parent, the LsBLH2 had a 1-bp deletion in exon 1 which leads to a premature stop codon. CRISPR/cas9 knocking out and complementary tests showed that the loss-of-function of LsBLH2 delays bolting in lettuce. ChIP-seq, gene expression and phytohormone analysis showed that LsBLH2 regulates the gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis and metabolism. LsBLH2 binds to the promoter of the LsGA20ox1 and LsGA2ox8 and regulates their expression, leading to the bioactive GA accumulation during the vegetative-to-reproductive phase transition. Both LsOFP6 and LsKNAT3 interact with LsBLH2 and regulate bolting in a LsBLH2-dependent manner. LsOFP6 promotes, while LsKNAT3 suppresses the effects of LsBLH2 on GA biosynthesis during the transition and rosette stage in lettuce, respectively. In summary, the LsBLH2-LsOFP6-LsKANT3 module orchestrates bioactive GA accumulation to regulate bolting in lettuce, which provides insight into the bolting development process and offers new approaches for lettuce breeding to prevent premature bolting.
