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

backgroundProtein ubiquitination is an important post-translational modification process that is involved in abiotic and biotic stress responses, hormone responses, cell cycle progression, and cell differentiation. Previous studies have demonstrated that the Arabidopsis thaliana Ring Zinc Finger 1 (AtRZF1) exhibits E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase activity and negatively mediates the water-deficit stress response by regulating proline metabolism. However, the role of soybean AtRZF1 orthologs in the dehydration response is unknown.

resultsIn the present study, Glycine max Ring Zinc Finger 1-Like 1 (GmRZFL1), a soybean ortholog of AtRZF1, was isolated and functionally characterized. In immunoblot assays, GmRZFL1 exhibited E3 Ub ligase activity similar to AtRZF1. Abscisic acid (ABA) treatment, osmotic stress, and drought all reduced the expression of GmRZFL1 in soybean seedlings. GmRZFL1-expressing transgenic Arabidopsis lines exhibited reduced cotyledon greening and shorter roots under osmotic stress and ABA treatment compared to wild-type (Col-0). Furthermore, expression analysis of ABA signaling-related genes revealed altered transcription of ABA-insensitive 5 (ABI5), ABA-responsive elements (ABRE)-binding factor 3 (ABF3), and ABA-Responsive Element-Binding Protein 2 (AREB2) in transgenic lines under osmotic stress.

conclusionsThe E3 Ub ligase GmRZFL1 negatively participates in osmotic stress response via the ABA signaling pathway.
