An efficient hairy root system for validation of CRISPR/Cas system activities in cotton.
Article in Functional & integrative genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The hairy root induction system has been widely applied in studying gene expression and function in plant species due to its rapidity and efficiency. The hairy root system is an efficient tool for evaluating the activities of CRISPR/Cas systems. Cotton hairy roots were primarily induced through cotton tissue culture under aseptic conditions and by injecting cotton stem tips under non-aseptic conditions. However, both methods are lab-intensive and time-consuming. In this study, an efficient cotton hairy root induction procedure was established via infecting cotton hypocotyls with Agrobacterium rhizogenes under non-sterile conditions. Cotton seedlings with expanded cotyledons were decapitated with a slanted cut, and the residual hypocotyl (maintained 1 cm apical portion) was inoculated with A. rhizogenes. Over 90% of the infected explants from all three tested varieties could produce hairy roots after 8 days of inoculation. The effictiveness of the method was tested by overexpressing two reporter genes (eGFP and GUS). The transformation efficiency of the GUS and eGFP were ranged from50-68.18% and 40.9-68.18%. In addition, the editing efficiency of target sites in different CRISPR/Cas systems were also tested in hairy root. This method provided technical support for screening suitable target sites for cotton gene editing.
