Heterologous expression of AtYUC1 enhances potato branching and tuber formation via StARF-mediated repression of StBRC1a.
Article in Plant cell reports, 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
key messageConstitutive expression of AtYUC1 in potato enhances branching and tuber production through upregulation of StARF1 and StARF5, which suppress StBRC1a expression. Branching is a crucial determinant of plant architecture, optimizing light capture, improving environmental adaptability, and enhancing crop yield. Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) possess above-ground stems and modified stems. To investigate the effect of AtYUC1 in these processes, we generated transgenic potato lines constitutively expressing heterologous AtYUC1 and performed phenotypic and molecular analyses. Elevated auxin levels in the transgenic lines enhanced branching, plant height, stolon number, and above-ground biomass. The number of tubers was also significantly higher compared to wild-type plants. Molecular analysis revealed significant upregulation of StARF1 and StARF5. In addition, StBranched1a (StBRC1a) expression was significantly downregulated in these lines. Auxin treatments further confirmed concentration-dependent modulation of StBRC1a and StBRC1b expression. Further investigations demonstrated that StARF1 and StARF5 bind to the promoter region of StBRC1a, repressing its expression and thereby promoting branching. This study provides valuable insights into the hormonal regulation of branching in potatoes and underscores the potential of genetically manipulating auxin biosynthesis pathways to enhance potato yield.
