Population structure, genetic diversity and genome-wide association analysis of the seed morphology traits in Handroanthus chrysanthus (Jacq.) s.o.grose.
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
backgroundHandroanthus chrysanthus is a remarkable landscape tree species with significant research and development potential. However, it remains unclear whether the varieties introduced to China are one species or two species. Since the morphological characteristics of seeds are extremely valuable in plant systematics research, in this work, 126 germplasm samples of H. chrysanthus were genotyped by genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) for the first time. Subsequently, the phylogenetic tree, kinship and population structure were analyzed. Additionally, a genome-wide association analysis study (GWAS) was performed to identify candidate genes for seed morphology traits in H. chrysanthus.
resultsAfter applying various filtering criteria, 124 574 high-quality single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were obtained. Most germplasms showed no obvious genetic relationship. The phenotypic analysis indicated that the four seed morphology-related traits had high variability. The coefficients of variance ranged from 9.50 to 12.07%, and they followed a continuous normal distribution. A total of 29 significant SNPs were identified by GWAS based on mixed linear model (MLM (QK)), and the number of significant SNPs associated with NWL, NWW, WL and WW were 14, 16, 2 and 9, respectively, among which 9 were pleiotropic loci. Within a 50-kb range of the flanking sequence of these significant SNP loci, 68 candidate genes potentially related to seed morphological traits were identified. Then, 29 candidate genes were screened by integrating expression level and functional annotation. Combined with quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis, CDL12_15522, CDL12_15254, CDL12_11100, CDL12_11105 were ultimately selected as the important candidate gene.
conclusionsThis study reveals the genetic basis of seed traits in H. chrysanthus, offering new perspectives on into its introduction history. The identification of markers closely related to these seed traits can be utilized for classification and breeding programs, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the genetic background and classification of H. chrysanthus.
