Integrated of metabolome and transcriptome analysis reveals the effect of artificial light at night on Platanus orientalis L.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. 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
backgroundArtificial light at night (ALAN) and its associated biological impacts have regularly been characterized as predominantly urban issues. ALAN delays the senescence of plane tree leaves in cities, resulting in the longer retention of green leaves. Some studies have described the effects of ALAN on plane trees at the physiological and biochemical levels. However, there is a lack of research at the molecular level.
resultsIn this study, we performed metabolic and transcriptomic analyses on plane green leaves with and without streetlight, as well as natural yellowing leaves away from the streetlight. In green leaves exposed to streetlights, numerous genes associated with auxin and cytokinins that inhibit leaf senescence were activated, while most genes associated with salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene and brassinolide that promote senescence were suppressed. Some candidate senescence-associated genes (SAGs) were identified, and brassinolide (6alpha-hydroxy-castasterone and castasterone), jasmonic acid ((-)-jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate) and most flavonoids were significantly enriched in yellowing leaves. Combined analyses of transcriptome and metabolome data revealed that compared with the two green leaf groups, biosynthesis of amino acid, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, tryptophan metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis were the most significantly enriched metabolic pathway in yellowing leaves. Especially for phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and flavonoid biosynthesis related to leaf yellowing pigment accumulation, most of DEGs and DAMs are upregulated in yellowing leaves, but downregulated in green leaves under streetlight.
conclusionOur results indicate that ALAN retarded plant leaf senescence mainly by altering plant hormone levels and inhibiting metabolic pathways such as flavonoid biosynthesis, betalain biosynthesis, caffeine metabolism and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. This study provides insights into how streetlights affect plane trees.
