Genome-Wide Association Study and Candidate Gene Mining of Husk Number Trait in Maize.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Husk number (HN) trait is an important factor affecting maize kernel dehydration rate after the physiological maturity stage. In general, a reasonable reduction in HN is a key target sought for breeding maize varieties that are suitable for mechanized harvesting. In this study, the HN of a maize natural population panel containing 232 inbred lines was analyzed, and the results showed a broad-sense heritability of 0.89, along with a wide range of phenotypic variation. With the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values across the three environments, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using 995,106 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. A total of 16 SNPs significantly associated with HN were identified by the mixed linear model and general linear model using the TASSEL 5.0 software program. A local linkage disequilibrium (LD) study was performed to infer the candidate interval around the lead SNPs. A total of 19 functionally annotated genes were identified. The candidate genes were divided into multiple functional types, including transcriptional regulation, signal transduction, and metabolic and cellular transport. These results provide hints for the understanding of the genetic basis of the HN trait and for the breeding of maize varieties with fewer HN and faster dehydration rate.
