1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

key messageGWAS using DArTseq markers identified novel resistance sources against parasitic broomrape in pea, elucidating candidate genes for marker-selected breeding as leverage for cultivar development and efficient disease control to enhance food security. Crenate broomrape (Orobanche crenata) is an important obligate root parasitic weed that causes severe yield losses in pea (Pisum sativum) production. O. crenata is difficult to eradicate in pea fields due to its high resilience and prolific seed boom capable of hibernating in soils for decades. Existing control strategies are not cost effective in low input legumes like pea. The most efficient ecofriendly mode of control is using resistant cultivars. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies based on bi-parental mapping has guided O. crenata resistance discovery, albeit their deployment in pea breeding is hindered by low marker resolution and large genetic distance. This study presents the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) on O. crenata resistance in pea, utilizing 324 diverse accessions and 26,045 diversity array technology sequence (DArTseq) markers. Phenotyping was performed over four seasons under field conditions using alpha lattice design. Results showed a strong phenotypic variation with an environmental influence on O. crenata infection. Novel resistance sources were identified mainly within the wild Pisum fulvum and P. sativum subsp. elatius. GWAS with two models yielded a total of 73 marker-trait associations with Chromosome 5 as major hotspot. Interestingly, some linked markers were detected in close proximity to four previous O. crenata resistance QTL. DArTseq markers identified 24 putative candidate genes participating in different cellular processes, including vesicle trafficking and transports, deoxyribonucleic acid transcription regulation, and defense including some leucine rich repeat receptor-like kinases. These results provide a valuable genetic resource for O. crenata resistance and a step toward its effective sustainable management-to enhance genetic diversity and cultivar improvement for food security.
