Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Reveal the Function of Trigonelline and Its Synthesis Gene BrNANMT in Clubroot Susceptibility of Brassica rapa.
Article in Plant, cell & environment, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Clubroot caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, a soil-borne pathogen, threatens cruciferous plants, resulting in severe yield reductions. To identify genes and metabolites associated with clubroot resistance and susceptibility, we performed metabolome and transcriptome analyses of Brassica rapa inbred line CRBJN3-2 inoculated with resistant and susceptible P. brassicae strains. Co-expression network analysis revealed that trigonelline accumulation, linked to the nicotinic acid and nicotinamide metabolic pathways, was significantly higher in clubroot-susceptible plants. Furthermore, applying trigonelline externally aggravated clubroot in both B. rapa and Arabidopsis thaliana. Overexpression of the nicotinate N-methyltransferase gene (BrNANMT) responsible for the conversion from nicotinate to trigonelline in these plants increased disease susceptibility, while loss of this gene's function resulted in improved clubroot resistance. Our study is the first to reveal the function of trigonelline in promoting clubroot development and identify BrNANMT as a clubroot susceptibility gene and trigonelline can be used as a marker metabolite in response to P. brassicae infection. Gene editing of BrNANMT provides new insights for the development of Brassica crops with improved resistance to clubroot.
