Genome-wide characterization of the UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGT) family and functional analysis of VcUGT160 involved in dihydrozeatin glycosylation during blueberry fruits development.
Article in BMC genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundBlueberry (Vaccinium spp.) celebrated for its rich nutritional content and significant health benefits, was referred to as the 'Queen of Fruits' and the 'King of Berries'. The development of blueberry fruits is closely related to plant hormones. Glycosylation mediated by UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) is a key step in plant hormones homeostasis. However, the UGT members has not been reported in blueberry to date.
resultsA total of 361 VcUGT genes were identified and classified into 11 groups. Whole-genome and segmental duplications drove VcUGT expansion, with structural analysis revealing conservation within subgroups but divergence among them. Group G members were associated with cytokinin glycosylation, particularly dihydrozeatin, which promotes fruit enlargement. RT-qPCR suggested VcUGTs involvement in fruit development, while functional validation confirmed VcUGT160 localization to the nucleus and cell membrane, likely mediating dihydrozeatin glycosylation.
conclusionsThe results of this study identified and characterized the UGT gene family in Blueberry. VcUGT160 may function in mediating dihydrozeatin glycosylation. Moreover, these findings enhance our understanding of VcUGTs evolution and function in blueberry.
