Genetic diversity analysis of angled luffa germplasm resources based on phenotypic traits and resequencing data.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 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
Introduction: Phenotypic evaluation and whole-genome resequencing (WGR) techniques play critical roles in the identification and utilization of crop germplasm resources. This study integrated 28 phenotypic traits and WGR data to assessphenotypic variation and genetic diversity among 209 angled luffa (Luffa acutangula) accessions. Methods: A total of 209 angled luffa accessions were evaluated using 28 phenotypic traits and whole-genome resequencing. Phenotypic variation was assessed by coefficients of variation and Shannon-Wiener diversity indices. Principal component analysis (PCA), population structure analysis, phylogenetic tree construction, and hierarchical clustering were performed to analyze phenotypic and genetic diversity. Results: Extensive phenotypic variation was observed, with coefficients of variation for 20 quantitative traits ranging from 8.41% to 54.09%, and Shannon-Wiener diversity indices (H') from 1.79 to 2.51. For 8 quality-related traits, coefficients of variation ranged from 4.93% to 45.11%, with H' values between 0.13 and 1.97. Principal component analysis revealed 9 principal components, with fruit length and skin color exhibiting the highest loadings, enabling the identification of 12 superior germplasm accessions. Genetic diversity indices indicated limited overall genetic variation (Ne = 1.390, I = 0.528, Ho = 0.125, He = 0.236) with a high inbreeding coefficient (FIS = 0.470), indicating significant inbreeding within this population. Population structure, phylogenetic tree, and hierarchical clustering analyses consistently partitioned the accessions into six subgroups, with each subgroup displaying similar phenotypic and genetic characteristics. Discussion: Together, these findings provide an integrated phenotypic and genomic landscape of ridged loofah diversity and have laid a solid foundation for the innovative utilization, molecular genetic improvement, and new variety selection of angled luffa germplasm resources in the future.
