Genome-Wide Association Study of Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Hyperspectral Indices in Drought-Stressed Young Plants in Maize.
Article in Genes, 2025. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesGlobal maize production is considerably affected by drought aggravated by climate change. No genome-wide association study (GWAS) or candidate gene analysis has been performed using chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) and hyperspectral (HS) indices measured in young plants challenged by a water deficit. Our objective was to conduct a GWAS of nine ChlF and HS indices measured in a diversity panel of drought-stressed young plants grown in a controlled environment using a maize single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 50k chip.
methodsA total of 165 inbred lines were genotyped using the Infinium Maize50K SNP array and association mapping was carried out using a mixed linear model.
resultsThe GWAS detected 37 respective SNP markers significantly associated with the maximum quantum yield of the primary photochemistry of a dark-adapted leaf (Phi_Po), the probability that a trapped exciton moves an electron into the electron transport chain further than QA (Psi_o), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), the Zarco-Tejada and Miller Index (ZMI), greenness, modified chlorophyll absorption in reflectance (MCARI), modified chlorophyll absorption in reflectance 1 (MCARI1), and Gitelson and Merzlyak indices 1 and 2 (GM1 and GM2).
conclusionsOur results contribute to a better understanding of the genetic dissection of the ChlF and HS indices, which is directly or indirectly related to physiological processes in maize, supporting the use of HS imaging in the context of maize breeding.
