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

Polyploidization is a fundamental evolutionary process in plants, including bread wheat. In the present study, we performed a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of dynamic homoeologous gene divergence in Aikang58 (AK58), a modern elite polyploid wheat cultivar with a recently released reference genome, and in other wheat genomes, including landraces, synthetic wheat, and several breeding lines. Over 40% of transposable element (TE) families exhibit biased distribution across the three wheat subgenomes. Approximately 95.0% (113 421) of genes are co-located with TEs, and these variable TEs significantly contribute to homoeologous divergence. We found that about 80% of triad homoeologs are divergent due to differences in expression or sub-functionalization. In addition, subgenome divergence potentially promote polyploid wheat domestication and improvement by increasing favorable homoeoallele combinations. Our findings suggest that homoeolog divergence contributes to the adaptation, domestication, and improvement of hexaploid wheat. The contribution of subgenomic divergence to polyploid heterosis is also discussed. This study provides a valuable resource for the investigation of how TEs drive homoeologous divergence during wheat domestication and improvement.
