Cytotype classification and genetic diversity of Platostoma palustre revealed by rDNA localization and chloroplast genome.
Article in BMC genomics, 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
backgroundPlatostoma palustre A. J. Paton is an edible medicinal plant that plays a significant role in traditional food production and medicinal applications. However, the genetic basis of P. palustre remains unclear, thereby hampering research on its genome and polyploid evolution.
resultsTo characterize the karyotype and ploidy of P. palustre, we performed fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) by using 35 S and 5 S rDNA probes in P. palustre. FISH results indicated that 35 S rDNA mapped to the end of the chromosome (chromosome satellite, heterochromatic region) and that 5 S rDNA was located close to the centromere of the chromosomes. Based on the rDNA sites, we identified three distinct cytotypes of P. palustre: diploid (2n = 2x = 30, x = 15), triploid (2n = 3x = 45, x = 15), and tetraploid (2n = 4x = 60, x = 15). To further explore the genetic evolutionary relationship among these P. palustre cytotypes, we conducted Illumina sequencing and assembled the chloroplast (CP) genome. The CP genomes of P. palustre accessions maintained a conserved single circular molecule with a length of 152,534 - 152,788 bp, comprising a large single-copy region (LSC) and small single-copy region (SSC) separated by two inverted repeat regions (IRs). Phylogenetic trees were also created based on CP and nuclear molecular markers, showing that most P. palustre accessions clustered together corresponding to their collection regions. Of these, GDZC2 (2n = 2x = 30) clustered with several triploid accessions, suggesting that it may share a common ancestor with these triploid accessions.
conclusionsThis is the first study to characterize the karyotype, identify three cytotypes of P. palustre using FISH, and provide molecular evidence for an evolutionary relationship among different P. palustre accessions. These findings will be useful for further genomic studies and polyploid evolution of P. palustre.
