Analysis of Volatile Metabolome and Transcriptome in Sweet Basil Under Drought Stress.
Article in Current issues in molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Basil, renowned for its aromatic properties, exhibits commendable drought tolerance and holds significant value as an edible and medicinal plant. Recognizing the scarcity of studies addressing basil's response to drought stress, we performed physiological experiments and omics analyses of sweet basil across four distinct levels of drought stress. During drought stress, basil showed increased activity of antioxidant enzymes and accumulated more osmoregulatory compounds. Our metabolic analysis meticulously identified a total of 830 metabolites, among which, 215 were differentially accumulated. The differentially accumulated metabolites under drought stress were predominantly esters and terpenes; however, none were identified as the primary volatile compounds of basil. Transcriptome analyses highlighted the pivotal roles of phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis and lipid metabolism in fortifying the resistance of sweet basil against drought stress. α-linolenic acid, lignin, flavonoid, and flavonol contents significantly increased under stress; the essential genes involved in the production of these compounds were confirmed through quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and their variations aligned with the outcomes from sequencing. This holistic approach not only enriches our understanding of the molecular intricacies underpinning basil's drought resistance but also furnishes valuable insights for the molecular breeding of basil varieties endowed with enhanced drought tolerance.
