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 messageAcMYB10 promotes anthocyanin accumulation in kiwifruit flesh. Among these genes, the downstream AcF3GT1 and AcGST1 are the key genes that restrict anthocyanin synthesis. The specific accumulation of anthocyanin in organs and tissues is a phenomenon seen in various fruit species, which can drive consumer preferences and product novelty. Certain cultivated kiwifruit develop red flesh, typically localized to the inner pericarp. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying this specific accumulation, we identified and analyzed the genes encoding the enzymes of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway, focusing on specificity to the inner pericarp. Our findings revealed that six anthocyanin-related genes and transcription factors, which included the anthocyanin-related AcMYB10, were highly expressed in the inner pericarp. Dual-luciferase assays showed that AcMYB10 can regulate the promoters of these genes-AcCHI1, AcF3H2, AcF3'H3, AcANS4, AcF3GT1, and AcGST1-to activate their expression. Over-expression of AcMYB10 in kiwifruit callus promotes anthocyanin accumulation while significantly inducing the expression of these six anthocyanin-biosynthesis-related genes. However, RNA-seq results indicated that AcCHI1, AcF3H2, AcF3'H3, and AcANS4 had elevated basal expression both in green fruit outer pericarp and non-transgenic callus. In contrast, in non-pigmented tissues, expression of AcF3GT1 and AcGST1 remained extremely low. It, therefore, appears that expression levels of AcF3GT1 and AcGST1 are critical in limiting anthocyanin accumulation within kiwifruit tissues. Our study elucidates how the AcMYB10-AcF3GT1/AcGST1 module regulates tissue-specific anthocyanin accumulation in kiwifruit.
