Microbiota transplantation for cotton leaf curl disease suppression-core microbiome and transcriptome dynamics.
Article in Communications biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Microbiota transplantation is a strong tool for managing plant disease. This study investigates the effects of microbiota transplantation on Cotton Leaf Curl Disease (CLCuD) resistance in Gossypium hirsutum, a species with good fiber length but high susceptibility to biotic stresses. Using metabarcoding for V3-V4 16S rRNA gene amplicon, microbial fractions from both rhizosphere and phyllosphere of CLCuD-resistant species Gossypium arboreum, and susceptible cotton varieties are analyzed. Unique bacterial taxa have been identified associated with disease resistance. Interspecies and intraspecies microbiota transplantation is conducted, followed by CLCuD incidence assays. It is seen that rhizospheric microbiota transplantation from G. arboreum FDH228 significantly suppresses CLCuD in G. hirsutum varieties, outperforming exogenous salicylic acid application. While phyllospheric transplants also reduce disease incidence, they are less effective than rhizospheric transplants. Differential expression analysis DESeq2 is utilized to identify key bacterial genera correlated with CLCuD suppression, including Pseudoxanthomonas and Stenotrophomonas in the rhizosphere of G. arboreum FDH228. Functional pathway analysis reveals upregulation of stress response and metabolism in tolerant species. Transcriptomics reveals upregulation of genes involved in protein phosphorylation and stress response in interspecies rhizospheric microbiota transplants. This study highlights microbiota transplantation as a sustainable method for controlling CLCuD along with specific microbial and genetic mechanisms contributing to CLCuD resistance.
