Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals the function of SoCER4 in alkanol synthesis in sugarcane.
Article in Functional & integrative genomics, 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
The wax of sugarcane buds, especially alkanol, was correlated to sugarcane smut resistance in previous studies. Moreover, alkanol could induce smut teliospore germination. This study aimed to analyze wax-related genes in sugarcane buds. In this study, the wax contents in germinated sugarcane buds from smut-resistant Zhongzhe 9 (ZZ9) and smut-susceptible Guitang 42 (GT42) were measured, showing that total wax content and alkanol content of GT42 were significantly higher than that of ZZ9 after bud germination. The gene expression profiles of germinated buds from ZZ9 and GT42 were analyzed using transcriptome analysis, and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) terms for cutin, suberine, and wax biosynthesis were enriched between ZZ9 and GT42. In addition, a lipid transfer protein (LTP) gene (c97015.graph_c0) may be involved in wax transportation that caused higher wax content in GT42 buds, and a SoCER4 gene (c120140.graph_c0) may play a key role in alkanol synthesis that caused higher alkanol content in GT42 buds. Here, the SoCER4 gene was functionally characterized via overexpression in Nicotiana benthamiana. The alkanol contents of SoCER4 transgenic N. benthamiana leaves were significantly higher than that of wild type, indicating SoCER4 was responsible for alkanol synthesis. These results would be helpful in understanding alkanol synthesis in sugarcane buds.
