Tomato drought-responsive transcription factor TINY1 suppresses embryonic growth.
Article in Journal of experimental botany, 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
Dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factors play an important role in plant responses to drought. DREB subfamily A4 contains a subgroup named TINY. Previous studies in Arabidopsis suggest that TINYs suppress plant growth and mediate abscisic acid (ABA)-induced stomatal closure. In this study, we investigated the function of the tomato drought-induced TINY1. Under drought conditions, the tiny1 mutant lost turgor and wilted more rapidly than control M82 plants. However, this sensitivity was attributed to its larger leaf area, rather than intrinsic differences in drought response. Measurements of stomatal conductance, leaf temperature, and osmotic adjustment revealed no significant differences between tiny1 and M82. Furthermore, whole-plant daily transpiration of M82 and tiny1 with a similar leaf area showed no differences. Interestingly, the growth-promoting effect of tiny1 was confined to early developmental stages; enhanced embryo growth and hypocotyl elongation, and accelerated emergence of the first true leaves-a trait that later contributed to increased leaf area. At later stages, the mutation had no observable impact on growth rate. Our results show increased gibberellin (GA) activity in the mature tiny1 embryo and suggest that TINY1 suppresses embryonic growth by repressing GA biosynthesis through down-regulation of GA 20-oxidase 4 (GA20ox4) gene expression.
