The Diversity of the DNA-Binding Landscape in the DREB/ERF Family: Focusing on Reproductive Processes in Fruit Trees With Highly Heterozygous Genome.
Article in Plant biotechnology journal, 2026. 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
DREB/ERF transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant development; however, their structural characteristics, DNA-binding preferences, and functional roles in highly heterozygous woody plants remain insufficiently understood. Using lychee (Litchi chinensis) as a model, we identified 95 DREB/ERF genes subdivided into ten phylogenetic groups. DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq) of 45 representative members uncovered 65 194 binding sites with subfamily-specific motifs: C(G/A)CCG(A/C)C for DREB and CGCCG(C/T)C for ERF subfamilies. Each group exhibited unique binding motif preferences, aligning with their protein structures and essential peptide positions. Notably, LITCHI017494 directly regulated terpenoid biosynthesis and aroma formation by activating tandemly repeated LcTPS genes. Furthermore, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in LITCHI017494's binding sites altered the binding efficiency of two flowering-related genes (LcSVP and LcVOZ) in early- and late-maturing haplotypes, revealing a mechanism underlying flowering and fruit maturation period. Overall, with experimental evidence, this study provides a comprehensive binding profile of the DREB/ERF family in lychee, revealing intricate transcriptional regulatory networks and serving as a crucial resource for transcription factor research within complex genomic contexts, especially in the DREB/ERF gene family.
