Regulation of tocopherol (vitamin E) biosynthesis by abscisic acid-dependent and -independent pathways during abiotic stress in Arabidopsis.

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
MAIN
conclusionThe increase in tocopherol (vitamin E) biosynthesis in Arabidopsis during drought and osmotic stress, but not during high light or nitrogen deprivation, is mediated by abscisic acid. Plants increase the production of antioxidants including tocochromanols (vitamin E) during stress. To study the regulation of tocochromanol synthesis, Arabidopsis plants were exposed to drought, osmotic stress stimulated by polyethylene glycol, abscisic acid (ABA), nitrogen deprivation, and high light. ABA treatment resulted in increased contents of tocochromanols, and expression of the key tocopherol biosynthesis genes VTE2 and HPPD was upregulated, indicating that tocochromanol accumulation was regulated by ABA. Under drought and osmotic stress, the ABA and tocochromanol contents as well as VTE2 and HPPD expression were also increased. ABA levels did not change during nitrogen deprivation or high light treatment, indicating that tocochromanol accumulation under these conditions was ABA-independent. Tocochromanol accumulation during drought or osmotic stress was not compromised in the ABA-deficient aba1-6, aba2-1 and aba3-2 mutants, suggesting that tocochromanol synthesis under these conditions was mostly regulated in an ABA-independent way. Therefore, the accumulation of tocochromanols in Arabidopsis can be regulated by ABA-dependent and ABA-independent signaling pathways, based on the specific conditions.
