Genome-wide association analysis identifies natural allelic variants associated with leaf rolling in rice (Oryza sativa L.).
Article in Annals of botany, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsLeaf rolling in rice affects plant architecture, light interception and photosynthetic efficiency. This study aims to identify the genetic basis of adaxial leaf rolling using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in a diverse panel of rice accessions.
methodsA GWAS was performed using 1.5 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across 113 rice accessions. The analysis included population structure, linkage disequilibrium, haplotype patterns and expression correlation. To validate the identified association, an additional panel of japonica inbred lines was analyzed, supporting the link between the SNP and adaxial leaf rolling. KEY
resultsA japonica-specific quantitative trait locus, qALR1, was identified on chromosome 1. A putative causal SNP was located within a shared cis-regulatory motif (RAV1-B) upstream of two candidate genes, LOC_Os01g72370 and LOC_Os01g72380. Previous studies suggest that variation in this motif can influence gene expression, supporting the hypothesis that regulatory divergence in these genes may underlie variation in leaf rolling. Validation with an expanded panel of japonica inbred lines revealed its enrichment in breeding germplasm, indicating possible historical selection.
conclusionsThis study identifies a subspecies-specific regulatory mechanism underlying adaxial leaf rolling in rice. The putative causal SNP may affect transcription factor binding and gene regulation, ultimately influencing leaf morphology. These findings offer valuable targets for optimizing canopy architecture and enhancing photosynthetic performance through molecular breeding.
