Multiple omics analysis reveals the response mechanism of tobacco seedlings to different magnesium concentrations.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2026. 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
backgroundMagnesium is an essential macronutrient for tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) growth, as it participates in chlorophyll synthesis, photosynthesis, and enzyme activation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying tobacco’s dynamic response to varying magnesium concentrations remain unclear. This study combined physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses to explore the adaptive strategies of tobacco seedlings under complete magnesium deficiency (CK), deficient, optimal (T3, 4 mmol/L), excess, and toxic magnesium conditions.
resultsMagnesium deficiency/excess induced oxidative stress and inhibited growth, while T3 promoted agronomic traits. Transcriptomics of the CK and T3 treatment groups showed: 7 days (5,450 DEGs, 51.6% up/48.4% down), 15 days (15,582 DEGs, 49.9% up/50.1% down), 30 days (11,574 DEGs, 44.9% up/55.1% down). Genes highly sensitive to magnesium concentration included LOC107825700, LOC107808263, and LOC107759348 (consistently upregulated under optimal magnesium) and LOC107795938, LOC107785922 (significantly downregulated under magnesium deficiency). KEGG enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs were mainly enriched in photosynthesis, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, sucrose-galactose metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, and nucleotide metabolism pathways. Metabolomic of the CK and T3 treatment groups results confirmed that optimal magnesium upregulated key metabolites such as fructose 6-phosphate, galactose, α-ketoglutaric acid, and guanosine, while suppressing purine and 2-aminopurine accumulation. Additionally, sucrose synthase (LOC107828804), arginine decarboxylase (LOC107773487), and nucleotide metabolism-related genes (LOC107773465) were identified as core regulatory genes for magnesium response.
conclusionsThis study reveals that tobacco adapts to magnesium concentration changes through synergistic regulation of “photosynthesis-TCA cycle-sucrose-amino acid-nucleotide” metabolic networks. The identified magnesium-sensitive genes and key pathways provide a theoretical basis for breeding magnesium-deficiency-tolerant tobacco varieties and optimizing magnesium fertilizer application in tobacco production.
