Diverse roles of ethylene in maize growth and development, and its importance in shaping plant architecture.
Review in Journal of experimental botany, 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
The gaseous plant hormone ethylene is a key developmental and growth regulator, and a pivotal endogenous response signal to abiotic and biotic interactions, including stress. Much of what is known about ethylene biosynthesis, perception, and signaling comes from decades of research primarily in Arabidopsis thaliana and other eudicot model systems. In contrast, detailed knowledge on the ethylene pathway and response to the hormone is markedly limited in maize (Zea mays L.), a global cereal crop that is a major source of calories for humans and livestock, as well as a key industrial biofeedstock. Recent reports of forward screens and targeted reverse genetics have provided important insight into conserved and unique differences of the ethylene pathway and downstream responses. Natural and edited allelic variation in the promoter regions and coding sequences of ethylene biosynthesis and signaling genes alters maize shoot and root architectures, and plays a crucial role in biomass and grain yields. This review discusses recent advances in ethylene research in maize, with an emphasis on the role of ethylene in regulating growth and development of the shoot and root systems, and ultimately how this crucial hormone impacts plant architecture and grain yield.
