Comparative transcriptomic analysis of petaloid stamen formation in Lagerstroemia speciosa 'Zijuan'.
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
backgroundLagerstroemia speciosa ‘Zijuan’ is a new variety of L. speciosa with highly petaloid stamens that exhibit ornamental value but sterility. To investigate the mechanism of stamen petaloidy, this study compared the morphological structures and transcriptomic profiles of stamens between L. speciosa and L. speciosa ‘Zijuan’.
resultsStamen petaloidy in L. speciosa ‘Zijuan’ initiates when bud diameters reached approximately 3 mm. During three developmental stages—stamen primordium (buds 1–2 mm), anther formation (buds 2–3 mm), and anther development (buds 3–4 mm)—8122, 8058, and 7242 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the two varieties, respectively. GO enrichment analysis revealed that most DEGs related to tapetum development and photoperiod sensing in L. speciosa ‘Zijuan’ were upregulated during stamen development compared to L. speciosa. KEGG pathway analysis identified activated auxin, gibberellins, and jasmonic acid response factors in hormone signaling pathways. Expression differences in A-, B-, and C-class genes were observed across the three stages: A- and B-class genes showed minimal changes, while C-class gene expression was suppressed. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) analysis of C-class co-expression networks suggested potential associations between AGAMOUS and its homolog MADS3 with SMD1B. Marked expression disparities in these genes were confirmed between L. speciosa and L. speciosa ‘Zijuan’ flower buds. RT-qPCR results corroborated transcriptome data, validating reliability.
conclusionsThis study proposes novel regulatory mechanisms for stamen petaloidy, providing technical insights for future investigations into stamen development, petaloidy mechanisms, and candidate gene selection in L. speciosa.
