Genome-wide characterization of the LBD gene family in Sapindus mukorossi and functional analysis of the role of SmuLBD26 in male sterility.
Article in Plant cell reports, 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
key messageGenome-wide analysis of LBD genes in Sapindus mukorossi identifies SmuLBD26, whose overexpression causes anther malformation and male sterility, offering insights for non-model tree breeding. The LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) gene family is a plant-specific family of transcription factors which regulate various physiological processes in plants, including the development of lateral organs, cell fate determination, regeneration processes, stress responses, and reproductive organ development. However, the biological functions of LBD genes in Sapindus mukorossi (soapberry), a tree species with significant economic and ecological value, remain unknown. Understanding male sterility in soapberry is important for facilitating hybrid breeding and improving fruit yield. This study aimed to systematically identify LBD family members in soapberry and explore their potential roles in regulating male sterility. A genome-wide analysis of LBD genes was conducted in soapberry and 29 SmuLBD genes distributed across 12 chromosomes were identified. Gene structure and phylogenetic analyses reveal that all genes contain the LOB (LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES) conserved motif and indicate LBD genes are conserved in both sequence and function during evolution. Subsequent co-expression network analysis and expression analyses identified SmuLBD26 as a key candidate gene with potential role in the regulation of male sterility. Overexpression of SmuLBD26 in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) was found to deform another development, cause pollen abortion, and reduce the rate of seed setting. These findings elucidate the structural and expression features of the LBD gene family in soapberry, and identify SmuLBD26 as a key regulator underlying male sterility. This work not only extends our understanding of LBD gene function in non-model woody species, but also provides a reliable candidate gene for molecular breeding of male-sterile lines in soapberry.
