Extensive phenotyping and genome-wide analysis of grain number-related traits in a diverse wheat core collection.
Article in The plant genome, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important staple crops globally. Grain number per spikelet (GPS) is an important yield component in wheat. It is influenced by floret number per spikelet (FPS) and floret fertility. Through three consecutive years of observation of FPS, GPS, and floret fertility per spikelet (FFPS) in a globally collected hexaploid wheat core collection and using an improved genotyping dataset, we identified 42 marker-trait associations (MTA) for spikelet-related traits through the single-nucleotide polymorphism and the k-mer-based genome-wide association studies. Those MTA explain 4.45%-24.45% phenotypic variations for the FFPS and GPS traits, indicating a substantial effect on spikelet-related traits. We found significant negative associations between days to heading (DTH) and spikelet-related traits, suggesting that DTH and spikelet-related traits are subject to a certain degree of common genetic control. We identified several potential candidate gene models in the associated regions, including TraesCS2A03G0815500, which encodes a protein with a sterile alpha motif domain, and TraesCS2A03G0780600, which encodes a plastid-targeted lipoxygenase. These genes may facilitate wheat breeding and help elucidate the mechanisms of wheat grain set.
