Laminar patterning transcription factors orchestrate spatial metabolite partitioning in Capsicum fruit.
Article in Nature plants, 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
Chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) produces specialized metabolites, notably the pungent capsaicin and the red capsanthin. Although their biosynthetic pathways are well characterized, the cellular architecture that underpins spatial regulation remains unclear. Here we present a spatiotemporal single-nucleus atlas of pepper development, integrating single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, profiling 332,468 high-quality cells from 57 samples spanning seedlings to mature fruits. This resource reveals a multilayered organization and precisely maps metabolic genes to defined cell types and spatial regions. We further identify laminar patterning transcription factors, including WRKY6, ZAT10 and BTF3, whose layer-specific expression correlates with localized capsanthin accumulation. Our work establishes a framework for dissecting laminar control of specialized metabolism and provides a valuable reference for comparative studies across species. The atlas is openly accessible at http://Pepper-Cell-Atlas.com .
