Influence of Ploidy and Genetic Background on Stress Tolerance of Intraspecific Yeast Hybrids.
Article in Microbial biotechnology, 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
Hybrid vigour, or heterosis, is widely exploited in yeast strain improvement. Yet, how ploidy and genetic background jointly shape heterosis across industrially relevant stresses remains unclear. Here, we generated 1023 Saccharomyces cerevisiae intraspecific hybrids derived from 18 genetically diverse parents, using two different approaches, yielding sets of hybrids with variable ploidy for the same parental combinations. High-throughput growth assays in media with five stress conditions (14% ethanol, 1.5 M NaCl, 0.15 M lactic acid, 0.05 M acetic acid, 0.05 M HMF) revealed extensive heterosis across 6138 hybrid-condition combinations. Most combinations displayed mid-parent heterosis and over a third exceeded the best parent, with the strongest gains during growth in the presence of 14% ethanol and 1.5 M NaCl. Increasing ploidy was generally associated with reduced growth and reduced best-parent heterosis, whereas greater predicted hybrid heterozygosity or genetic distance between parents was positively associated with heterosis in the presence of 14% ethanol and 1.5 M NaCl. Domestication status also affected these trends, as crosses between two domesticated strains tended to perform better in the presence of ethanol and NaCl, while crosses between two wild strains grew best in control conditions and in the presence of acetic acid. Together, these results demonstrate condition-dependent contributions of ploidy and parentage to heterosis and provide targeted breeding strategies for the improvement of stress-tolerance in industrial yeasts.
