Glutathione S-transferase in mediating adaptive responses of oats (Avena sativa) to osmotic and cadmium stress: genome-wide analysis.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundGlutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are essential multifunctional enzymes. In the face of abiotic stresses such as drought and heavy metal exposure, plants utilize GSTs for detoxification and antioxidant defense, as these enzymes facilitate the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) with toxic compounds. Specific details of this process, however, remain unknown.
resultsThis study identified 118 Avena sativa GST (AsGST) genes within the A. sativa genome and classified them into five subfamilies: Tau, Phi, Zeta, Lambda, and EF1Bγ. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that AsGSTs exhibit significant similarity to corresponding GST categories in Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa, indicating a possible common ancestor. Gene structure and conserved motif analysis demonstrated that AsGST genes within the same subfamily shares similarities in the number and positioning of exons and introns, as well as in motif composition, suggesting that these genes may perform analogous biological functions in A. sativa. The promoter regions of the identified genes are enriched with various cis-acting elements that play roles in plant growth and development, stress response, and hormone signaling. Transcriptomic analysis and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) validation indicated that the expression of four AsGST genes (AsGSTU12, AsGSTU13, AsGSTU14, and AsGSTU15) was significantly up-regulated in the roots of A. sativa under both PEG-induced drought stress and CdCl
conclusionThis study systematically described the GST gene family in A. sativa, characterized its expression patterns and potential functions in response to drought and cadmium stress, and confirmed the essential role of the AsGST gene family in mediating stress responses. The findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying stress tolerance and offer valuable genetic resources for breeding stress-tolerant A. sativa. The work also provides a theoretical framework and identifies gene targets for the development of stress-resistant A. sativa varieties.
