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

backgroundAroma terpenoids are crucial plant secondary metabolites with physiological and commercial importance. Interestingly, both closely and distantly related species can synthesize identical aroma terpenoids. With the development of genome sequencing technology, it has become possible to elucidate the genomic mechanism underlying this phenomenon.

aimThis review highlights whole-genome data as a robust strategy for investigating the genomic mechanism of aroma terpenoids biosynthesis in plants, and provides new perspectives on the origin, evolution, and engineering of terpene synthases (TPSs). This aims to significantly benefit plant breeding and enhance suitability for industrial production. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW: Genomic mechanism of aroma terpenoids biosynthesis in plant genomes is the genetic and evolutionary dynamics. We elaborate the genomic mechanism governing the biosynthesis of plant-derived aroma terpenoids in three dimensions: (1) Genome-wide identification and phylogenetic analyses of TPSs. The same aroma terpenoids were produced by numerous plant species with chromosome-level genomes. Based on 34 plant genomes, we identified 1643 TPSs and classified them into seven subfamilies. (2) Functional and structural basis of TPSs. We found that TPSs with identical functions in distant species exhibit low sequence similarity but conserved active cavity architectures. Conversely, functionally distinct TPSs in closely related species cluster phylogenetically but differ in active cavity structures. (3) Patterns of TPS gene origination. Comparative genomic analyses within and between species revealed three patterns enabling TPSs to acquire the same functions: tandem duplications, dispersed duplications, and genes without duplication.
