Overexpression of cotton PLATZ transcription factors GhPLATZ01 and GhPLATZ15 improves the drought resistance of tomato.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
The plant-specific transcription factor GhPLATZ, a zinc finger protein, plays a crucial role in plant growth and stress response. This study achieved heterologous expression of the GhPLATZ01 and GhPLATZ15 genes from upland cotton in tomato plants, generating two transgenic lines: trans-GhPLATZ01 and trans-GhPLATZ15. Overexpression of these genes resulted in transgenic tomatoes with higher chlorophyll content, relative water content, and proline levels, while showing reduced malondialdehyde content and conductivity. These findings indicate that GhPLATZ01 and trans-GhPLATZ15 significantly minimize cell membrane damage and enhance plant stability under drought conditions. Additionally, overexpression of these genes upregulated antioxidant enzyme-related genes in tomatoes, leading to enhanced antioxidant activity and reduced oxidative stress. Consequently, this study demonstrates that GhPLATZ01&15 can improve drought resistance through improved water retention, reduced cellular damage, enhanced membrane stability, and antioxidant capacity, providing valuable genetic resources for developing drought-resistant crops.
