Identification and characterization of U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase genes (ChPUBs) in Cardamine hupingshanensis under abiotic stress.
Article in BMC genomics, 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
backgroundCardamine hupingshanensis is a novel selenium (Se) hyperaccumulator within the Brassicaceae family, yet the genomic basis of its stress adaptation remains poorly understood. Although U-box E3 ubiquitin ligases (PUBs) are known to be key regulators of abiotic stress responses in plants, their composition and functions in C. hupingshanensis have not been determined.
resultsWe conducted the first genome-wide identification and analysis of the U-box gene family in C. hupingshanensis and identified 114 ChPUB genes. Phylogenetic analysis classified them into five distinct subgroups. These genes were unevenly distributed across the chromosomes and have expanded primarily through segmental duplication. Structural analysis revealed conserved U-box domains and motif organization within subgroups. Promoter analysis uncovered an abundance of cis-elements associated with stress and hormone responses. Expression profiling of representative ChPUBs demonstrated tissue-specific expression patterns and dynamic responses to various abiotic stresses, including selenium, osmotic, salt, temperature, and ABA treatments. Strikingly, most ChPUBs were strongly upregulated by high-concentration selenium in leaves. Importantly, yeast two-hybrid assays revealed that ChPUB12 and ChPUB33 interact with the ABA receptor ChPYL1, while ChPUB33 also interacts with ChPYL6, ChPYL13, and the protein phosphatase ChABI2. Furthermore, ChPUB12, ChPUB33, and ChPUB113 all physically interact with the cold signaling master regulator ChICE1.
conclusionsOur study provides a comprehensive genomic resource for the ChPUB gene family and highlights their potential as integrators of ABA and cold signaling pathways. The strong induction of ChPUBs by selenium stress suggests a novel role in selenium homeostasis. These findings provide key molecular insights into the adaptive mechanisms of this unique selenium hyperaccumulator to environmental challenges.
