Biostimulants in plant brassinosteroid hormone receptor BRI1 activation-a new system to evaluate activation capacity.
Article in The FEBS journal, 2026. 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
The search for innovative and alternative chemical methods to manage plant growth is an ever-increasing reality. Biostimulants, products of biological origin, have shown promise in improving various agronomic characteristics and boosting yield. However, the selection and characterization of biostimulant matrices is a complex process that requires rigorous evaluation adapted to the specific needs of each plant. Because mixtures of biologically active compounds are present in biostimulants, efficient methods are required to characterize their potential mode of action. In this study, a new approach was developed to assess the biological activity of biostimulants by activating specific plant receptors involved in key physiological processes. It is based on the heterologous expression in fission yeast of brassinosteroid receptor protein Brassinosteroid Insensitive 1 (BRI1), which is involved in plant growth and development, and its specific activation by brassinolide (BL). The method involves the identification of highly expressed genes in response to BL activation of the BRI1 receptor, to generate a GFP reporter gene system that is switched on when biostimulants activate the BRI1 receptor. The biostimulants selected for testing were hydrolysates of animal origin. The results not only revealed variations in BRI1 activation among biostimulants, but also highlighted that samples from the same origin exhibit different BRI1 activation capacities depending on their processing methods. This new method enables direct classification of the mode of action of biostimulants by assessing their ability to activate specific plant receptors, providing a valuable resource for biostimulant research and development.
