High-throughput phenotyping of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) genotypes under water stress: exploring drought resistance for sustainable agriculture.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAs global agriculture faces the challenge of climate change, characterized by longer and more severe drought episodes, there is an increasing need for crop diversification and improved plant breeding. Buckwheat is one of the climate-resilient candidates for future important crops with remarkable adaptability to various biotic and abiotic stresses. As an underbred crop, a large number of genotypes should be assessed for the breeding of superior plants. Therefore, this study investigates the response of various buckwheat genotypes to water stress by high-throughput phenotyping and auxiliary plant physiology measurements.
resultsWe assessed six buckwheat genotypes from different regions under mild and severe water stress, focusing on morphological and physiological changes to understand drought tolerance mechanisms. Our findings revealed that reallocation of assimilated carbon from growth to secondary metabolite production is a common response to drought stress. Among the genotypes tested, Panda emerged as the most drought-resistant, with its morphology remaining the most stable under mild water stress and its ability to rapidly accumulate protective pigments in response to drought. Silver Hull also demonstrated resilience, maintaining its aboveground biomass under mild water stress at levels comparable to the control group. Additionally, the response magnitude to drought stress was linked to the biomass production potential of the genotypes, which was higher for those from warmer regions (Bhutan, Zimbabwe) and lower for those from colder regions (Poland, Canada).
conclusionThe diversity in genotypic responses highlights the significant role of genetic variability in shaping drought resistance strategies in buckwheat. This research not only enhances our understanding of buckwheat's physiological responses to water stress but also holds promise for developing drought-resistant buckwheat varieties. These advancements are crucial for promoting sustainable agriculture in the face of climate change.
