1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundA comprehensive study of the genome and genetics of superior germplasms is fundamental for crop improvement. As a widely adapted protein crop with high yield potential, the improvement in breeding and development of the seeds industry of faba bean have been greatly hindered by its giant genome size and high outcrossing rate.

resultsTo fully explore the genomic diversity and genetic basis of important agronomic traits, we first generate a de novo genome assembly and perform annotation of a special short-wing petal faba bean germplasm (VF8137) exhibiting a low outcrossing rate. Comparative genome and pan-genome analyses reveal the genome evolution characteristics and unique pan-genes among the three different faba bean genomes. In addition, the genome diversity of 558 accessions of faba bean germplasm reveals three distinct genetic groups and remarkable genetic differences between the southern and northern germplasms. Genome-wide association analysis identifies several candidate genes associated with adaptation- and yield-related traits. We also identify one candidate gene related to short-wing petals by combining quantitative trait locus mapping and bulked segregant analysis. We further elucidate its function through multiple lines of evidence from functional annotation, sequence variation, expression differences, and protein structure variation.

conclusionsOur study provides new insights into the genome evolution of Leguminosae and the genomic diversity of faba bean. It offers valuable genomic and genetic resources for breeding and improvement of faba bean.
