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 messageAlthough herbicide resistance in Setaria is rampant and cosmopolitian across four herbicide families, we encountered little evidence of target-site resistance, indicating diverse non-target mechanisms of metabolizing, sequestering, and overwhelming herbicides. Setaria viridis is a cosmopolitan weed and model genetic system with increasing reports of resistance to multiple classes of herbicides. Our goal was to assess the herbicide resistance and allelic diversity in herbicide target genes in a collection of Setaria genotypes from North America and Eurasia, and identify the occurrence of novel and known target-site mutations that led to resistance. A total of 214 Setaria genotypes were exposed to commonly used herbicides that inhibit specific genes: herbicide action class (HRAC) group 1 herbicides targeting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), HRAC 2 targeting acetolactate synthase (ALS), HRAC 9 targeting 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase, and HRAC 10 targeting glutamine synthetase. ACCase and ALS genes in 53 accessions were PCR-amplified and sequenced. Whole-genome sequencing reads covering the target genes were analyzed for an additional 98 genotypes. Herbicide trials showed that 30% of our accessions set seed following application of at least one herbicide, and 13 accessions were resistant to multiple classes of herbicides. Although there were numerous SNPs, including some known to lead to resistance, in our target genes, SNPs found predominantly in herbicide-resistant genotypes were largely intronic or synonymous. A small number of amino acid substitutions in ALS and ACCase indicated potential and incomplete resistance to HRAC 1 and 2 herbicides, but no SNPs putatively associated with herbicide resistance were identified in the other 6 target-site genes. The broader pattern of herbicide resistance in S. viridis is likely driven by non-target mutations that detoxify or compartmentalize applied herbicides.
