Comparing apoplastic root barrier formation and morphology in six crop species cultivated in soil vs. hydroponics.
Article in Planta, 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
MAIN
conclusionCultivation medium affects apoplastic root barrier formation, gene expression, and morphology across crops, showing that soil growth compared to hydroponics strengthens suberization and lignification while altering plant structural traits. Hydroponic cultivation is commonly used in plant physiology studies; however, studies involving soil are rare. The response of 3 monocotyledonous and 3 dicotyledonous species to cultivation in soil compared with that to cultivation in hydroponic solution was investigated along with the quantification of relevant morphological parameters. The root anatomy was studied with the help of histochemical and microscopic analyses. Root suberin and lignin content were quantified via gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Transcriptional changes were assessed via RNA-Seq analyses which compared the two growth conditions of barley plants. The results revealed that the plants of all the species cultivated in soil presented significantly longer roots and higher suberin and lignin contents. The above-ground organs of the plants grown in the hydroponic solution presented greater biomass accumulation, with greater shoot dry weights and leaf surface areas. We conclude that across a range of crop genera, the different physicochemical characteristics of the two cultivation media have a pronounced influence on plant morphology, root system architecture, and apoplastic barrier formation.
