CATION AMINO ACID TRANSPORTER1 encodes an arginine transporter whose expression is influenced by daylength and Photoperiod-1.
Article in Annals of botany, 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsFlowering and inflorescence development of wheat involve coordination of organ development, tissue growth, and remobilization of nutrients from source to sink tissue. Photoperiod-1 (Ppd-1) is a major flowering gene that regulates diverse genetic pathways during inflorescence development, including those that determine spikelet and floret formation; however, it is not yet known if Ppd-1 influences the expression of genes encoding proteins that transport nutrients.
methodsHere, we used transcriptome data from near-isogenic lines that contain variant Ppd-1 alleles to show that Ppd-1 is required for expression of a cation amino acid transporter, CATION AMINO ACID TRANSPORTER1 (CAT1), in developing inflorescences and leaves.
resultsThe influence of Ppd-1 on CAT1 expression is supported by CAT1 activity being photoperiod-responsive, with CAT1 transcripts absent in short days and accumulating as daylengths extend. Functional analysis using Xenopus oocytes supports a role for CAT1 as a transporter of cationic amino acids, including arginine, and characterization of mutant lines lacking functional CAT-D1 and CAT-B1 show that CAT1 influences amino acid levels, root growth and spikelet development.
conclusionsOur results indicate Ppd-1 has a broader role during wheat reproductive development by affecting the expression of amino acid transporters such as CAT1, which encodes an arginine transporter that influences development and growth of source and sink tissues.
