Investigating the effect of chitosan on the expression of P5CS, PIP, and PAL genes in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) under salt stress.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Chitosan, a non-toxic and biodegradable compound, enhances plant growth and secondary metabolite production, presenting innovative approaches to mitigating plant stress. Salinity, a common abiotic stress, significantly impairs plant growth and development. This study investigates the effects of chitosan on the physiological, biochemical, and gene expression responses of salt-stressed Brassica napus L. exposed to NaCl concentrations of 0, 50, 100, and 150 mM. Chitosan was applied as a foliar spray at concentrations of 0, 5 and 10 mg/L. The research focuses on gene expression changes in P5CS, PIP, and PAL genes in the roots and shoots of Brassica napus, revealing notable alterations, particularly in PIP expression under saline conditions. The study also observed enhanced PAL enzyme activity, increased chlorophyll and proline levels, and changes in iron, potassium, and nitrogen content. These findings demonstrate chitosan's potential to improve plant resilience to salt stress. By modulating gene expression and enhancing physiological responses, chitosan presents a promising solution for enhancing plant tolerance to salinity, with valuable implications for agricultural practices.
