Physiological and transcriptional reprogramming for salinity tolerance of endangered mangrove associate Hernandia nymphaeifolia.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHernandia nymphaeifolia is a typical mangrove associate with high ecological, ornamental, and medicinal values, but in China, it has become endangered in recent years, and an urgent protection is needed. Salinity is a key factor for growth and survival of mangrove seedlings, and thus a comprehensive understanding of salt tolerance in mangroves is important for their conservation and afforestation. However, little is known regarding salt-responsive mechanisms in H. nymphaeifolia.
resultsIn this study, we posed gradient salt treatments on H. nymphaeifolia seedlings and investigated their physiological and transcriptional reprogramming in response to salinity stress. The results revealed that hyper-salinity stress adversely impacted on leaf growth, cell integrity and photosynthetic performance of H. nymphaeifolia seedlings than those growing in fresh water or low salt conditions, mirroring its moderate salinity tolerance as a mangrove associate. Genes involved in osmotic sensing and regulation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and ion homeostasis were differentially expressed to alleviate the destructive effects. Furthermore, our results identified some kinase-encoding genes as hub genes in co-expression networks, which may play a key role in regulating the synergistic expression of salt-responsive genes upon stress conditions.
conclusionThis research enriches our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying the salinity tolerance of mangrove associates, which can theoretically assist the conservation and restoration of H. nymphaeifolia. Our findings also provide valuable genetic resources for future potential bioengineering applications in the fields of agriculture and forestry.
