Application of ionizing radiation for crop improvement.
Review in Planta, 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
MAIN
conclusionPlant irradiation could be a promising approach to fulfill the food need of the constantly increasing world population within the ever-changing climate. A fast increase in the population, an ever-changing climate, as well as a decrease in the quantity and quality of areas suitable for farming impose challenges on agriculture. There is growing understanding that under current conditions, based on conventional methods farming is less effective and is not able to meet the food demands of the growing global population. This review focuses on radiation technologies, the success of which depends on a clear understanding of plant biology. The use of ionizing radiation to stimulate plant development and the application of radiation mutagenesis to crop improvement is discussed in detail. Particular attention is paid to the methodology of combined use of radiation mutagenesis and genome editing to increase the efficiency of plant breeding. In this case, ionizing radiation acts as a tool for searching for candidate genes involved in resistance to abiotic stressors or determinants of plant productivity. This review highlights that precision-guided ionizing radiation, when applied with calibrated protocols, can enhance crop yield, stress adaptability, and resilience. By bridging mechanistic insights with practical applications, this review underscores the potential of nuclear-assisted plant breeding to address food security in an era of environmental uncertainty, offering a roadmap for future advancements.
