The Plant Mind: Unraveling Abiotic Stress Priming, Memory, and Adaptation.
Review in Physiologia plantarum. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Plants exhibit a remarkable capacity to adapt to recurrent abiotic stresses, prompting a re-evaluation of traditional views on plant responses to environmental challenges. This review explores the intricate mechanisms of stress priming, memory, and adaptation in plants. Specifically, it details the molecular and physiological processes underlying abiotic stress priming, which serve as a gateway to understanding plant memory. Stress priming fosters resilience against diverse stressors through interconnected pathways involving hormone signaling, transcriptional regulation, DNA methylation, histone modifications, and small RNAs. These epigenetic changes orchestrate stress-responsive gene expression and can, in some cases, be passed on to future generations. This review distinguishes between somatic memory, intergenerational effects, and transgenerational inheritance to avoid conceptual overlap. By connecting short-term priming to long-term adaptation and potential heritability, this article proposes a paradigm shift in how plant resilience is understood, with significant implications for crop improvement under climate stress.
