1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Genetic variations in vernalization (Vrn), photoperiod (Ppd), and reduced plant height (Rht) genes significantly influence durum wheat adaptability. However, the systematic integration of these functional alleles into genomic prediction (GP) models has been limited. This study identified genetic markers associated with heading date (HD), flowering time (FT), and plant height (PH) via genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 186 durum wheat [Triticum turgidum ssp. durum (Desf.) Husn.] genotypes, including landraces, old cultivars, and modern cultivars, grown in eight sowing × season environments. GWAS confirmed major loci at Rht-B1 (Q.PH.cer-4B), Ppd-A1 (Q.HD.cer-2A), Ppd-B1 (Q.FT.cer-2B.1), and Vrn-A1 (Q.HD.cer-5A), underpinning trait variation. Nineteen distinct allelic combinations (ACs) derived from Vrn-A1, Ppd-A1, Ppd-B1, and Rht-B1 showed strong selection for specific alleles (e.g., Vrn-A1c, Ppd-A1a, and Rht-B1b) in modern cultivars. GP models evaluated prediction accuracy (PA) by incorporating ACs, GWAS-derived markers (M), or both (AC-M) as fixed effects using 4399 SNPs under single (SE) and multi-environment (ME) scenarios. High prediction accuracies were achieved, notably in ME models (PA up to 0.93 for all analyzed traits). Incorporating functional ACs along with markers (AC-M) yielded consistent PA improvements. These results affirm the importance of Vrn, Ppd, and Rht genes and suggest that targeted integration of functional alleles can moderately enhance GP accuracy, potentially improving durum wheat breeding efficiency under varying environmental conditions.
