Cloning and functional analysis of the lobed-leaf gene BjA10.LL in Brassica juncea L.
Article in Stress 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
Leaf shape plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. Among various leaf traits, marginal lobation serves as an ideal morphological marker for breeding programs. However, the genetic mechanism underlying leaf margin lobation in Brassica juncea L. remains unclear. Through RNA sequencing and map-based cloning, we identified an incompletely dominant gene, BjA10.LL, which encodes an HD-ZIP I protein and is responsible for the formation of leaf margin lobation in B. juncea. Sequence analysis of parental alleles revealed no critical variations in the coding region but identified substantial variations in regulatory regions. Heterologous expression of BjA10.LL in Arabidopsis thaliana confirmed its sufficiency to induce lobed leaves. To functionally link the regulatory variations to the phenotype, we analyzed promoter activity and developed a co-dominant molecular marker targeting key indels in a core enhancer. The promoter activity was significantly affected by these sequence variations, and the marker exhibited perfect co-segregation with the lobed-leaf phenotype in an F₂ population, collectively establishing these regulatory polymorphisms as the causal basis for divergent BjA10.LL expression and leaf morphology. These results demonstrate that BjA10.LL positively regulates marginal lobe formation, providing insights into leaf shape regulation in B. juncea and facilitating the genetic improvement of rapeseed.
