Combining QTL mapping and transcriptomics to identify candidate genes for cold tolerance during the budding and seedling stages in rice.
Article in BMC genomics, 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
backgroundRice, being a thermophilic crop, exhibits high sensitivity to low-temperature stress throughout its growth and development. Consequently, enhancing cold tolerance (CT) has been a paramount objective in rice breeding programs. The budding and seedling stages are particularly susceptible to low-temperature damage, making it crucial to improve CT during these stages to ensure the stable establishment and development of the rice population.
resultsIn this study, we exposed the parental lines Nipponbare (NIP) and Searice 86 (SR86), along with their derived 170 doubled-haploid (DH) population lines, to cold treatments during both the budding and seedling stages. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping was performed using statistical indices such as the survival rate at the budding stage (SRBS), severity of damage at the budding stage (SDBS), survival rate at the seedling stage (SRSS), and wilting degree at the seedling stage (WDSS). This analysis identified four QTLs at the budding stage and eight QTLs at the seedling stage. Furthermore, by integrating differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from transcriptomic data with genes located within the QTL regions, we identified 10 candidate genes for the budding stage and 11 candidate genes for the seedling stage. Based on DNA sequence variations between the parental lines, changes in gene expression under cold treatment, and haplotype analyses, the key candidate genes were ultimately determined to be Os02g0250600 for the budding stage and Os06g0696600 for the seedling stage. Additionally, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses of transcriptomic data from both stages revealed significant differences in the regulatory pathways involved in CT between the budding and seedling stages.
conclusionThe results indicate that Os02g0250600 is the pivotal gene responsible for CT at the budding stage, with haplotype 4 exhibiting the highest level of CT. Meanwhile, Os06g0696600 plays a crucial role in CT at the seedling stage, where haplotypes 2 and 4 have been identified as advantageous. A comprehensive analysis integrating QTL and transcriptome data from both stages revealed distinct differences in CT mechanisms, highlighting stage-specific variations. This study provides valuable theoretical insights and practical references for the cloning of CT genes and the development of cold-tolerant rice varieties during the budding and seedling stages.
