Enhanced rice breeding with GLR1_CAPS marker for glabrous hull selection.
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
backgroundRice is the primary source of calories for a large portion of the global population. Most rice hulls are of the trichome-type and produce dust, which can cause respiratory allergies and environmental concerns during handling. By contrast, glabrous-type hulls reduce storage volume and minimise dust, making processing cleaner and more eco-friendly. Despite the advantages of glabrous rice as a breeding resource, no molecular markers are available for the effective selection of this trait.
resultsIn this study, we developed a novel cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker specifically designed to select glabrous hulls in rice. Using the sequence information of the Kompetitive Allele-Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (KASP) marker KJ05_001, closely linked to GLR1, we identified an MseI recognition site for targeted digestion. This sequence was used to create the GLR1_CAPS marker, showing tight linkage to GLR1. The effectiveness of this marker was tested in 290 diverse rice germplasm lines, confirming its broad applicability.
conclusionsOverall, the GLR1_CAPS marker is an efficient and reliable tool for breeding programs focused on the development of glabrous rice varieties. By facilitating accurate selection of this trait, the developed marker offers substantial improvements in rice storage, handling, and processing, contributing to more sustainable and allergy-friendly agricultural practices. This novel molecular marker represents an important advancement in rice breeding and opens new avenues for the development of rice varieties with reduced environmental and health impacts.
