Exploring the role of DNA damage response in seed priming to uncover key players for multi-stress tolerance.
Review in Journal of experimental botany, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Combined climatic stressors result in cumulative damage and unpredictable shocks to seed systems. Seed priming, a pre-sowing technique used to enhance seed vigour, is a key tool to face climate change. Priming agents boost the DNA damage response during early seed imbibition, preserving genome integrity and ensuring germination. Based on these premises, to what extent could the DNA damage response support the seed response to multiple stresses? How could seed priming enhance DNA repair to better fight combined stressors? How far are we from understanding the mechanisms for multiple stress tolerance that can contribute to improved resilience in seeds? The state of the art is critically discussed considering the scanty knowledge on this topic, highlighting the complex scenario of multi-factorial stress combinations. Case studies showing the efficacy of seed priming in promoting multiple stress response are reviewed, integrating the role of cross-stress tolerance, target germplasm (from major to orphan crops), and the contribution of advanced omics/phenotyping tools. Expanding current knowledge in seed biology, by focusing on the impact of multiple climatic stressors, is a challenge since there are still relevant open questions concerning the way in which the DNA damage response can be utilized in seeds that must be addressed.
