Metabolic and genetic analysis links TRITERPENE SYNTHASE 12 to oleanolic acid biosynthesis in grape berry wax.

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
Fruit surface cuticular waxes of grape berries are important in stress response and fruit quality. Despite extensive studies on the biosynthesis, regulation, and composition of fruit surface waxes, knowledge of the compositional variation and genetic mechanisms underlying grape berry cuticular wax formation remains limited. This study aimed to characterize grape berry cuticular wax composition and identify contributing genes. The wax composition of two grape cultivars ('Deckrot' and G1-7720) and their progeny shifted from aldehyde to fatty acid accumulation during ripening, while the composition was shown to influence Botrytis cinerea susceptibility. Alcohols and aldehydes contributed to the glaucous wax appearance, while the bioactive triterpene, oleanolic acid, was found to be the most abundant wax monomer. Metabolic quantitative trait locus analysis identified several genomic regions associated with wax monomer formation, including a cluster on chromosome 9 linked to triterpene content, which included eight putative triterpene synthases. Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggested that these genes code for amyrin synthases. Co-expression analysis, and subsequent heterologous expression in yeast, confirmed the involvement of VvTTPS12 in oleanolic acid formation. This study explores the role of grape berry wax composition and enhances understanding of genetic contributors to wax formation.
