Accelerated aging in Colobanthus quitensis seeds: understanding stress responses in an extremophile species.
Article in Planta, 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
MAIN
conclusionAccelerated aging effectively evaluates Colobanthus quitensis seed quality, revealing that deterioration reduces germination performance and total sugars, while increasing indole-3-acetic acid levels, indicating physiological decline. Seed deterioration affects all species and presents a major challenge for the management of germplasm banks. Colobanthus quitensis is one of the two extremophile vascular species native to Antarctica and is recognized for its biotechnological potential in environmental stress studies and as a bioindicator of climate change. However, the manifestation of physiological deterioration in the seeds of this species remains unknown. This study aimed to analyze the physiological changes occurring in C. quitensis seeds during the deterioration process. To achieve this, the accelerated aging method was applied to evaluate variations in germination and various biochemical indicators between aged and non-aged seeds. The results showed that the germination percentage, mean germination time, time required to reach 50% germination, and germination speed coefficient significantly decreased with seed deterioration. However, once the seed coat is broken, germination may be enhanced. Additionally, total sugar content decreased significantly with aging, while indole-3-acetic acid content increased. In conclusion, accelerated aging leads to a reduction in germination indices, and both total sugar and indole-3-acetic acid contents may serve as markers of physiological deterioration in C. quitensis and other species characterized by small seeds, seed dormancy, and hard seed coats.
