Sucrose synthase dynamics and its potential role in heat stress tolerance in cereals.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Sucrose synthase (SuSy) is a key enzyme in plant carbohydrate metabolism, catalyzing the reversible conversion of sucrose into UDP-glucose and fructose. SuSy is central to several developmental and metabolic processes, where its activity is closely linked to biomass accumulation, pollen viability, grain filling, and seed development. This review explores the role of SuSy, in comparison with invertase, examines its enzymatic interactions, and highlights its contribution to metabolic adaptation under heat stress, while emphasizing its critical role in strengthening sink capacity. Elevated temperatures negatively impact sucrose metabolism and source-sink relationships, disrupting yield formation in cereal crops. SuSy, with its distinct isoforms and subcellular localizations, adapts flexibly to thermal stress, maintaining sucrose flux and stabilizing energy supply in developing tissues. Its stress-responsive expression patterns suggest that specific isoforms could be targeted to enhance thermotolerance. Overall, understanding the spatial, temporal, and regulatory dynamics of SuSy offers promising avenues for developing climate-resilient crops. Harnessing its full potential through targeted breeding and gene editing could be pivotal in mitigating the adverse effects of rising temperatures on global food security.
