Pleiotropic effects of barley BLADE-ON-PETIOLE gene Uniculme4 on plant architecture and the jasmonic acid pathway.
Article in Journal of experimental botany, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Plant architecture is a key determinant of crop yield, and understanding the genetic basis of its regulation is crucial for crop improvement. BLADE-ON-PETIOLE (BOP) genes are known to play a fundamental role in shaping plant architecture across diverse species. In this study, we demonstrate pleiotropic effects of the barley BOP gene Uniculme4 (Cul4) on various aspects of plant architecture, including plant height, culm diameter, and grain traits. Accordingly, Cul4 is broadly expressed in different tissues and developmental stages. Comparing transcriptome profiles of cul4 mutant and wild-type plants, we uncover a novel link between Cul4 and the jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthetic pathway. Our findings demonstrate that proper Cul4 function is required to repress JA biosynthesis, with cul4 mutants exhibiting increased levels of JA and its precursor 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid. Up-regulation of WRKY and bHLH transcription factors shows JA signalling is also impacted by Cul4. Additionally, our study sheds light on the role of Cul4 in flowering time regulation, potentially through its interaction with florigen-like genes. This research enhances our understanding of the mechanisms and pathways acting downstream of BOP genes.
