Postharvest warm conditioning associates with HMGR abundance, squalene accumulation, and MAPK/phosphatase transcriptional responses in
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. An erratum has been issued. 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: Fully mature Camellia oleifera fruits undergo a brief postharvest warm-conditioning step that can markedly affect oil quality and squalene levels, yet its early molecular basis remains unclear. Methods: We integrated transcriptomics, UPLC-MS/MS metabolomics, targeted biochemical assays, and RT-qPCR to profile seed-kernel tissues collected from fruits incubated at 35 °C and 95% RH for 0, 12, and 24 h. Results: Warm conditioning increased squalene content and HMGR abundance in seed-kernel tissues. RNA-seq revealed broad transcriptional reprogramming, including coordinated changes in mevalonate pathway-associated genes and multiple phosphorylation-related components. Among four HMGR transcripts, HMGR-2 showed the highest baseline abundance, whereas HMGR-1 showed the strongest relative induction at 12 h, as confirmed by RT-qPCR. In parallel, MPK3/MPK6-like kinases and PP1/PP2A subunits were transcriptionally responsive to the treatment. Discussion: These multi-omic and biochemical data define an early postharvest warm-conditioning response associated with increased HMGR abundance and squalene accumulation, while providing candidate genes and pathway context for future functional validation.
