Integrated GWAS and Transcriptome Analysis to Identify Genes Underlying Plant Height and Ear Height Plasticity in Maize Germplasm.
Article in Genes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
backgroundIntegrating tropical and temperate maize germplasm represents a pivotal strategy for driving genetic innovation, with phenotypic plasticity serving as a critical indicator of successful integration.
methodsWe analyzed 155 inbred lines across 5 contrasting environments to investigate variation and plasticity in plant height (PH) and ear height (EH).
resultsGenome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified 77 loci associated with phenotypic plasticity, while the transcriptome profiling of Mo17 and T32 in Zhangye and Sanya revealed 9 candidate genes potentially regulating these traits, including
conclusionsThese results provide valuable genetic resources and theoretical foundations for germplasm improvement. The identified genes hold promise for molecular marker development, facilitating the breeding of elite lines with stable PH and EH across environments, thereby contributing to maize improvement and enhancing global food security.
