The Rice E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Gene OsPUB77 Regulates Head Milled Rice Rate by Affecting Grain Starch Accumulation.
Article in Plant biotechnology journal, 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
Head milled rice rate (HMRR) is a critical trait determining rice yield and economic value, yet its genetic basis remains poorly understood. Here, through genome-wide association study across multiple environments, we identified a major QTL, qHMRR4-2, and pinpointed OsPUB77, a U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase, as the causal gene. Haplotype analysis and transgenic validation revealed that both knockout and overexpression of OsPUB77 significantly reduce HMRR by disrupting starch accumulation and increasing grain chalkiness. We further demonstrated that OsMADS29 directly binds to the OsPUB77 promoter and represses its transcription. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that OsPUB77 maintains metabolic homeostasis essential for starch biosynthesis during grain filling. Our findings establish the OsMADS29-OsPUB77 module as a critical regulator of HMRR and provide a promising target for improving rice milling quality through precision breeding.
