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

backgroundDrought-induced gene alteration is usually associated with changes of histone H3K4me3 in plants. Histone methylation homeostasis relies on the coordinated activity of methyltransferases and demethylases. We previously demonstrated that SsJMJ11 is an H3K4me3 demethylase in Saccharum spontaneum and participates in regulating flowering time. However, the role of H3K4me3 regulators in regulating drought-stress responses in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) remains elusive.

resultsWe show that SsJMJ11 negatively regulates drought-stress responses by acting as an H3K4me3 demethylase. Ectopic overexpression of SsJMJ11 in Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in a hypersensitivity to soil drought stress as well as abscisic acid (ABA) and mannitol. Meanwhile, the drought-induced expression of AtRD20 and AtDREB2A, two well-known positive regulators of drought tolerance, was repressed by SsJMJ11 overexpression. In S. spontaneum, the ABA- and dehydration-induced transcription of SsRD20 and SsDREB2A was associated with increased H3K4me3 levels at these loci. Furthermore, transient overexpression of SsJMJ11 in S. spontaneum protoplasts reduced the ABA-induced transcription of SsRD20 and SsDREB2A, paralleling reduced H3K4me3 levels at these loci.

conclusionsOur results suggest that SsJMJ11-mediated dynamic deposition of H3K4me3 is required for proper adaptation to drought stress in sugarcane.
