Trehalose: a multifunctional sugar and its metabolites are biotechnological targets for crop salinity tolerance under saline conditions.
Review in Plant molecular biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Salinity stress is an abiotic threat that impairs crop growth, development, and productivity, placing a heavy burden on global agriculture. Understanding how crops tolerate salinity enables the development of biotechnological strategies to enhance crop resilience and yield, thereby securing sustainable food supplies for the growing global population. Trehalose, its metabolite trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P), along with key biosynthetic enzymes (trehalose-6-phosphate synthase, TPS; trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase, TPP), have garnered increasing attention for their ability to enhance crop tolerance to salinity by modulating physiological, biochemical, and signaling processes. Therefore, strategies to increase trehalose levels or to enhance its metabolic functions are promising for researchers seeking to improve crop tolerance and yield in saline environments. This review explores the structure of trehalose, its biosynthesis, protective molecular mechanisms, and the vital functions of its metabolites in enhancing crop tolerance and productivity in saline soils. It also underscores biotechnological strategies targeting trehalose metabolism to enhance salinity resilience of crops, while critically evaluating current limitations and knowledge gaps. Further targeted manipulation of trehalose metabolism, tissue-specific regulations, and validating results in field-grown crops are also required to translate laboratory findings into agricultural applications.
