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 messageEight QTLs linked to Botrytis grey mould resistance in chickpea were identified, enabling marker-assisted selection and candidate gene discovery for the development of resistant cultivars. Botrytis grey mould (BGM), caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex. Fr., is a destructive disease limiting chickpea production globally. To control this disease, breeding for the development of resistant chickpea cultivars is one of the most economic and effective method. Hence, identification and mapping of resistance genes/quantitative trait loci (QTL(s)) are critical. However, there are limited reports on QTL mapping and the identification of candidate genes for BGM resistance in chickpea. The present study employed bulked segregant analysis and whole-genome sequencing (BSA-seq) approach for the detection of candidate genomic regions controlling BGM resistance. A total of eight QTLs were mapped with three on chromosome 1 (BGM1.1, qBGM1.2, qBGM1.3), one on chromosome 3 (qBGM3.1), two each on chromosome 4 (qBGM4.1, qBGM4.2) and chromosome 7 (qBGM7.1, and qBGM7.2). Based on high ΔSNP-index and G' values, qtlBGM4.2 (2.36 Mb region) was selected for subsequent validation by KASP primers. Linkage mapping with KASP primers derived from six polymorphic SNPs with high read depth identified a 506.16 kb genomic region equaling 0.84 cM on the genetic map linked with BGM resistance. The results presented herein provide insights for further cloning and functional analysis of candidate genes (Leucine-rich repeat extension-like kinases, rust resistance kinase Lr10, and F-box proteins) related to BGM resistance. Additionally, BGM-specific KASP markers developed in this study will be highly useful for marker-assisted selection (MAS) to accelerate chickpea breeding programmes for BGM resistance.
