Empowering plant epigenetics to breed resilience of crops: From nucleolar dominance to transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.
Review in The plant genome, 2025. 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
Advancements in genomic and epigenetic research in both plants and animals have transformed breeding methods and biotechnological strategies for crop improvement, particularly in the face of extreme weather challenges. These breakthroughs in plant biology and agriculture have laid a strong foundation for ensuring food security, promoting environmental sustainability, enhancing nutritional health, and driving basic science advances, as exemplified by Mendel's discovery of genetic principles and McClintock's discovery of transposable elements. Plant epigenetics has held a transformative potential for developing high-yielding and resilient crops. In this review, I will examine various relevant epigenetic phenomena, including nucleolar dominance, paramutation, imprinting, somaclonal variation, and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, to explore strategies for overcoming yield limitations in an increasingly volatile climate. This perspective aligns with the vision for plant breeding and sustainable agriculture championed by the late Professor Ronald L. Phillips.
