SaUGTs regulate YE-induced phytoalexins homeostasis in Sorbus aucuparia suspension cells.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGlycosyltransferases (GTs) are key post-biosynthetic enzymes that catalyze the formation of glycosidic bonds in secondary metabolites, playing a critical regulatory role in plant cellular metabolic homeostasis. Biphenyl, dibenzofuran, and their glycosides, the most abundant phytoalexins in the apple subfamily, are synthesized de novo after infection by bacteria or fungi. Nevertheless, the biological functions of GTs in Sorbus aucuparia remain largely unexplored. PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the regulatory roles of Sorbus aucuparia uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases (SaUGTs) in biphenyl phytoalexin metabolism and cellular growth dynamics in suspension-cultured cells (SASCs) under yeast extract (YE)-induced stress.
methodsA standardized SASC culture system was established and treated with YE stress. A multi-omics approach was employed, integrating phenotypic analysis, targeted metabolomics, transcript profiling, and in vitro enzyme assays.
resultsYE treatment led to a transient reduction in biomass alongside a marked accumulation of biphenyl aglycones and glycosides. Temporal metabolite profiling indicated dynamic shifts corresponding to sequential biosynthetic events. Soluble protein content and SaUGTs transcript levels were significantly elevated. Functional assays confirmed that YE-induced SaUGTs catalyze the glycosylation of noraucuparin, aucuparin, and 2'-hydroxyaucuparin. Optimal cell proliferation was observed when metabolic equilibrium was maintained between aglycones and glycosides.
conclusionThese results reveal a previously unrecognized regulatory mechanism, wherein SaUGTs-mediated glycosylation modulates biphenyl phytoalexin homeostasis, enabling SASCs to balance defense activation and growth under YE elicitor stress.
