1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Terpenoids produced in plants play important roles in growth, development and response to environmental stimuli. Terpene synthases are responsible for the terpene backbone formation of terpenoid metabolites. In this study, fifty-one terpene synthase genes were identified in the quinoa genome and categorized into seven sub-families through bioinformatics and phylogenetic analysis. Gene structures, conserved motifs and cis-elements in promoters were also analyzed for these CqTPSs, as well as prediction of secondary and tertiary protein structure. Four terpene synthase genes in the TPS-e sub-family were further cloned for functional characterization. Among which, CqTPS49 and CqTPS51 were detected to react with ent-CPP to generate ent-kaurene, the intermediate of gibberellin biosynthesis, subsequently name as CqTPS49/KS1 and CqTPS51/KS2, respectively. CqTPS47 and CqTPS48 reacted with syn-CPP to form diterpene products, which needs to be identified with chemical structure characterization. All four tested CqTPSs were found to be localized in the chloroplast, consistent with their functions as diterpene synthease. Expression patterns analysis in different tissues revealed that CqTPS49/KS1 and CqTPS51/KS2 are mainly expressed in the active growing buds, suggesting involvement in gibberellic acid metabolism. This study identified the terpene synthase gene family in quinoa and provided the basis for further functional characterization of terpenoid metabolism.
