Genome identification of NAC gene family and its gene expression patterns in responding to salt and drought stresses in Rhododendron delavayi.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
backgroundThe NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factors (TFs), which play a vital role in plant growth and development, stress response, and disease resistance, have been extensively analyzed in various plant species. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the NAC family in Rhododendron delavayi, an important ornamental flower.
resultIn this study, a total of 102 RdNAC genes were identified from the R. delavayi genome. Phylogenetic analysis divided these genes into seven subfamilies, each characterized by similar conserved motifs. Chromosomal mapping revealed an uneven distribution of RdNACs across all 13 chromosomes, with gene family expansion driven primarily by dispersed duplication (110 gene pairs) and, to a lesser extent, tandem duplication (17 pairs). Intraspecific synteny analysis detected 26 pairs of duplicated RdNAC genes, while interspecific collinearity with Arabidopsis thaliana uncovered 83 orthologous pairs, indicating both lineage-specific diversification and conserved evolutionary relationships. Ka/Ks ratio calculations for both intra-RdNAC duplicates and RdNAC-AtNAC orthologs yielded values below 0.5, reflecting strong purifying selection. Conserved-motif and domain analyses identified ten distinct motifs and 35 structural domains, with the NAM and MIT CorA-like superfamily domains being the most prevalent. Promoter analysis of 2 kb upstream regions revealed a high abundance of abiotic stress-related cis-acting elements (e.g., ABRE, ARE, CGTCA-motif, LTR). Finally, qRT-PCR demonstrated that under drought (20% PEG) and salt (200 mM NaCl) treatments, multiple RdNACs, particularly RdNAC022 and RdNAC099, were significantly upregulated, underscoring their potential roles in stress response.
conclusionThis study provides a comprehensive identification of the RdNAC TF family in R. delavayi, contributing to a better understanding of these transcription factors in this species. The findings also serve as a reference for analyzing stress responses, particularly concerning drought and salt stress in R. delavayi.
