Pod photosynthesis: a new frontier for developing stress-resilient and high-yielding crops.
Review in Plant & cell physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Burgeoning global demand for crop products and the negative impact of climate change on crop production are driving the need to improve yield by developing new elite crop varieties without expanding planted area or increasing agronomic inputs. Improvement in photosynthesis is critical for enhancing crop productivity. Even though leaf photosynthesis is well-studied, the photosynthetic potential of non-foliar green tissues like pods in Brassicaceae and Fabaceae species remains underexplored. This review emphasizes pod photosynthesis in determining seed yield and quality in Brassicaceae and Fabaceae crops. At present, accurate and efficient phenotyping methods are unavailable, limiting understanding and genetic improvement of pod photosynthesis. Novel approaches like chlorophyll fluorescence and hyperspectral reflectance are promising for high-throughput phenotyping of pod photosynthetic traits. This review further discusses genetic targets and regulatory mechanisms for enhancing pod photosynthesis, including transcription factors like GOLDEN2-LIKE and GATA that may regulate photosynthetic capacity in pods, suggesting potential genetic manipulation strategies to boost crop productivity. In conclusion, unlocking the genetic and physiological bases of pod photosynthesis offers opportunities for advancing crop breeding to ensure sustainable food security amidst climate change and increasing global population pressures. Future research should focus on developing high-throughput phenotyping tools and elucidating genetic pathways to maximize pod photosynthesis in crops.
