1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Solanum verrucosum Schlechtendal (2x = 2n = 24) is unique among the clade 4 Solanum Sect Petota species. In addition to being one of the only fully self-compatible diploid potato species, S. verrucosum is the only clade 4 species that lacks prezygotic interspecific reproductive barriers. This allows S. verrucosum to accept pollen from a broad range of Solanum species and thereby serving as a genetic "bridge" between the cultivated or primary potato gene pool and distantly related wild relatives in the tertiary gene pool. The genetic mechanisms underlying self-compatibility in Solanum often underpin interspecific compatibility interactions, which in S. verrucosum, has been attributed to the lack of S-RNase expression. Using an interspecific F2 mapping population (n = 150), we investigated the genetic mechanisms responsible for the lack of interspecific reproductive barriers in S. verrucosum. This F2 population was evaluated for the ability to accept pollen from two clade 1, 1 EBN species (S. pinnatisectum and S. tarnii); from which two QTL for interspecific compatibility were identified on chromosomes 1 and 11, explaining 56.6% of the phenotypic variation observed. To identify the genetic basis of interspecific compatibility, we generated a chromosome-scale genome assembly of S. verrucosum MSII1813-2 and performed gene expression profiling of reproductive organs. Differential gene expression of S-RNase, located within the chromosome 1 QTL, confirmed the central role of the S-locus and specifically, S-RNase, in interspecific compatibility. Discovery of a non-S-locus QTL is consistent with previous findings that other non-S-locus factors are necessary for interspecific compatibility in S. verrucosum.
