Unravelling the predominant genetic paths for asexual reproduction in Kalanchoe.
Article in Nature plants, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
How somatic cells acquire totipotency and subsequently develop into a whole plant (plantlet) remains a mystery in plant biology. Here we used three Kalanchoe species to address this fundamental question. By assembling high-quality chromosome-level reference genomes and conducting comparative genomic analyses, we reveal hidden signatures of gene expansion, contraction and loss during the evolution of Kalanchoe species and elucidate conserved temporal gene expression signatures and epigenetic states during plantlet formation. Remarkably, we uncover three innovations contributing to the plantlet formation in Kalanchoe. Specifically, our results suggest that the loss of the F-box gene LCR is a prerequisite for plantlet formation. Both gene duplication and increased chromatin accessibility of pluripotency-associated genes further create conditions that enhance the potential of plantlet formation. The previously uncharacterized gene KdLBD19 could be leveraged to improve crop transformation efficiency. Overall, this study reveals the genetic basis underlying the acquisition of totipotency and plantlet formation in Kalanchoe.
