1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

key messageThe bHLH transcription factor BoMYC2 played a critical role in regulating branching in ornamental kale via the BoMYC2-BoD27 cascade by transcriptionally repressing BoD27 to reduce strigolactone (SL) biosynthesis and promote branching. Branching plays a vital role in plant morphology. Ornamental kale is an emerging cold-season flower, branching is of great significance on its ornamental value. While the functional genes and corresponding mechanism of branching in ornamental kale remains unclear. Previously, we conducted transcriptome sequencing with a single-branched inbred line 'P29' and its multi-branched mutant. Among the differentially expressed genes, BoD27, a homologous gene of AtD27, was a candidate. In this study, we cloned the full-length and promoter sequences of the BoD27 gene between the single- and the multi-branched materials. The differences within the coding sequences led to eleven amino acids mutations, where three mutated amino acids located in the functional domain. The BoD27 protein localized in chloroplast under the laser scanning confocal microscope. Knockout and knockdown of the BoD27 gene both led to SLs content decrease and promoted the outgrowth of axillary buds. BoMYC2 was identified as an upstream inhibitory factor of BoD27 gene via Y1H and DLR assays. Overexpression of BoMYC2 promoted the numbers of branches by inhibiting Sls synthesis. This study revealed a novel regulatory cascade comprising BoD27 and its upstream inhibitor BoMYC2 that regulates branching in ornamental kale.
