Integrative multi-transcriptomic analysis uncovers core genes and potential defense mechanisms in rice-Magnoporthe oryzae interaction.

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
key messageMultiple transcriptomic comprehensive analyses highlight key genes and cast new light on multifaceted pathways that may be important arenas in rice innate immunity against Magnoporthe oryzae blast disease. Magnaporthe oryzae (MOR) poses a significant threat to rice production worldwide. However, defense mechanisms in rice against MOR remain inadequately defined. In this study, a multi-transcriptomic integrative analysis on 441 samples from diverse microarrays and RNA-seq sets was conducted to reveal critical factors in rice defense against MOR infection. A robust pattern of 3534 upregulated genes and 2920 repressed genes was commonly identified across all MOR-infected arrays and RNA-seq profiles. Interestingly, enrichment analysis revealed a consistent triggering of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-related mechanisms and citric acid cycle (TCA) influx in rice response to MOR infection across all the transcriptome profiles, suggesting their critical role in modulating rice immunity against the pathogen. By contrast, chloroplast and photosynthesis pathways were frequently repressed across all the profiles. Among ER-related mechanisms, the phagosome pathway involved in the activation of NADPH oxidase was highly triggered in early response to MOR infection. Moreover, WGCNA analysis highlighted four key co-expressed gene modules and 80 significant hub genes associated with MOR infection. Among the core genes, Sec61 gene involved in the ER-translocation process was identified along with OsMFP (peroxisomal oxidation gene) and OSAHH gene (involved in cyclic-trans-methylation). Furthermore, MPK6, WRKY24, NUP35, and NPR1 genes were observed as core co-expressed genes, suggesting their significance in regulating rice immunity against MOR. Our findings elucidate key genes and multifaceted mechanisms in rice-MOR interaction, proposing new informative clues that can be exploited to improve rice resistance against blast disease.
