Lipid metabolic pathways and the roles of candidate transcription factors identified via lipidomic and transcriptomic analyses at various stages of seed development in Carya illinoinensis.

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
backgroundPecan (Carya illinoinensis) is an important woody oilseed tree species, known for its nuts rich in healthy oil. However, the molecular mechanisms and functions of key genes involved in lipid biosynthesis during pecan seed development remain poorly understood.
resultsIn this study, the oil content of mature seeds from the ‘Nacono’ and ‘Creek’ cultivars was 70.22% and 58.39%, respectively. Untargeted lipidomics identified five major classes of lipid molecules, with the highest proportions of glycerophospholipids and glycerolipids. These lipids contained five distinct fatty acids, with linolenic and lignoceric acids being the most abundant. cDNA libraries were constructed for seeds at 110, 124, 138, and 152 days after flowering (DAF) in both cultivars. A total of 25,099 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 1,695 transcription factor (TF) genes classified into 67 families. Based on transcriptome data, 15 TF genes exhibiting significant trends in fragments per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads (FPKM) were selected for qRT-PCR validation, and the expression patterns were consistent with the transcriptome analysis. As the DAF increased, the expression levels of CiPaw16G032200-bHLH, CiPaw07G014900-bHLH, and CiPaw06G056900-C2H2 were continuously down-regulated, while CiPaw15G075200-C2H2 was up-regulated, suggesting that these genes may play crucial roles in lipid accumulation during pecan seed development.
conclusionsThis study presentes a comprehensive analysis of lipid accumulation and transcriptional regulation during pecan seed development. The results reveal the molecular and biochemical mechanisms governing lipid deposition and offer valuable insights for the genetic enhancement of oil yield in this economically important species.
