Comprehensive characterization and diversity analysis of the HIS1 gene family in rice subpopulations for herbicide resistance.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundUnderstanding the genetic diversity and functional roles of key resistance genes is crucial for developing sustainable weed management strategies in rice cultivation. HIS1 (HPPD INHIBITOR SENSITIVE 1) confers broad-spectrum resistance to β-triketone herbicides in rice. However, despite its importance, the family of HIS1-like genes (HSLs) in rice remains largely uncharacterized.
resultsHere, we identified 25 HIS1 gene family members across four rice subpopulations, including 13 in Nipponbare, 4 in Minghui 63, 6 in Zhenshan 97, and 4 in Nagina-22. Phylogenetic analysis grouped these members into seven distinct subfamilies (HIS1, HSL1 ~ HSL6). While HIS1, HSL2, and HSL3 were present across all subpopulations, others exhibited subpopulation-specific presence/absence, underscoring the influence of evolutionary pressures on the HIS1 gene family. Haplotype analysis of family genes within a collection of 475 rice accessions revealed natural genetic variation for only three genes: HIS1, HSL2, and HSL3, with japonica accessions exhibiting high conservation across all genes, while indica accessions displayed diversity, forming 25 haplotypes for HSL3 and four for HSL2. However, these haplotypes did not strongly correlate with Benzobicyclon (BBC) resistance, suggesting that natural variations of these genes are not primary determinants of herbicide response. Expression profiling under BBC treatment revealed ecotype-specific regulation, with notable upregulation of HSL5 in BBC-resistant accessions.
conclusionsOur analysis identified tandem duplication as a major driver for the expansion and diversification of HIS1 family members on chromosome 6 in japonica rice. The upregulation of HSL5 in herbicide response points to its potential role in mediating BBC resistance in indica ecotypes. Employing an ecotype-specific reference genome could further enhance insights into herbicide resistance mechanisms. This comprehensive analysis enhances understanding of the evolutionary patterns and functions of HIS1 family genes in rice, offering valuable knowledge for future herbicide resistance breeding programs.
