ZmMYB155 is involved in starch synthesis and basal endosperm transfer layer development in maize.
Article in Plant cell reports, 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
key messageZmMYB155 acts as an important regulatory factor in starch synthesis and BETL development in maize. Starch synthesis is a critical process determining both the grain quality and quantity of a crop. The basal endosperm transfer layer (BETL) plays a crucial role in nutrient transport and defense against pathogens. However, the regulation of this process in maize remains elusive. This study demonstrated that ZmMYB155 is involved in starch synthesis and BETL development in maize kernels. ZmMYB155 is highly expressed in the maize endosperm. ZmMYB155 is a typical R2R3-MYB transcription factor that localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Compared to those of the control, the myb155 mutant displayed reduced seed size, starch, amylose, and amylopectin contents, and increased soluble sugars. Abnormal starch chain length distribution was also observed in the myb155 mutant. Furthermore, BETL development defects were observed in the myb155 mutant. In line with this, a significant decrease in the expression levels of starch synthesis pathway and BETL-specific genes was detected in the myb155 mutant. Collectively, these results demonstrate that ZmMYB155 acts as an important regulatory factor in starch synthesis and BETL development in maize.
