Analysis of thaumatin-like protein (TLP) gene family in tea plant revealed that CsTLP8 contributes to tea blister blight resistance.
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
backgroundThaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) belong to the PR-5 family of the pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, and have been widely reported in plants for their important role in resisting pathogenic bacteria. However, people know very little about the function it plays in helping tea plants resist tea blister blight.
resultsIn the tea plant, a total of 43 CsTLPs were detected. According to the evolutionary tree analysis, these genes can be divided into 9 subfamilies. Through promoter analysis, a substantial quantity of elements associated with stress, hormone response, as well as growth and development were identified. The collinearity analysis indicates that the sequences of multiple CsTLPs genes have high homology in tea plants. The combination of transcriptome analysis and qRT-PCR demonstrated that the expression of CsTLP8, CsTLP23, CsTLP28 and CsTLP34 were significantly up-regulated after tea blister blight infection. In addition, we have verified the functionality of CsTLP8. CsTLP8 is localized in cytoplasm, and has β-1,3-glucanase activity. Transient overexpression of CsTLP8 in tobacco can significantly increase POD and CAT activities and decrease hydrogen peroxide content.
conclusionsThe results will help to better understand the role of CsTLPs gene family in tea blister blight, and provide theoretical support for improving disease resistance of tea trees and breeding new varieties resistant to disease.
