Abscisic acid positively regulates rice spikelet closure.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
To investigate the mechanisms underlying rice glume closure and develop effective regulatory strategies, we examined both fertile (Xingan Zaozhan, Jiazao 70, and Zhenshan 97B) and sterile (Qiyuan S, Yue 4A, and Zhenshan 97A) varieties. ABA and fluridone (FL) were applied to mature panicles at various concentrations to assess closure rates, duration, and endogenous ABA levels in spikelets. RNA sequencing of lodicules was performed to analyze differential expression of genes involved in ABA synthesis and signal transduction during opening and closing phases. Additionally, methyl jasmonate (MeJA) combined with ABA (MeJA + ABA) was applied to female parents in hybrid breeding to evaluate seed setting rate, spikelet cracking rate, and yield increase. ABA treatment significantly accelerated spikelet closure, reduced closure duration, and increased final closure rates in both fertile and sterile lines, with optimal concentrations of 200-400 mg/L. In contrast, FL treatment delayed closure, prolonged the opening-closing duration, and decreased final closure rates. Endogenous ABA levels in palea and lemma were significantly lower during initial opening and closing stages compared to the maximum opening angle. During the Ory-15 min vs. Ory-40 min transition, genes encoding 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) and abscisic aldehyde oxidase (AAO) were significantly up-regulated, along with PYR/PYL, SnRK2, and ABF family genes, while PP2C family genes were down-regulated. The combined MeJA + ABA treatment significantly improved glume closure rates and hybrid seed yield. These results demonstrate that ABA promotes rice spikelet closure while FL inhibits it, highlighting ABA's crucial role in hybrid breeding. The MeJA + ABA combination offers a promising strategy to enhance hybrid seed yield and quality.
