ZnO nanoparticles enhance vernalized rapeseed yield under cadmium stress by boosting photosynthesis and antioxidant response while reducing cadmium accumulation.
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 messageZnO nanoparticles reverse vernalization-enhanced cadmium uptake in rapeseed through competitive inhibition, regulate flowering genes to shorten growth period, and achieve stable yield increase. Low-temperature vernalization of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) seeds can shorten the growth period but enhances their cadmium uptake, while zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnO NP) application can mitigate Cd toxicity in winter rapeseed. This study investigated the effects of ZnO NPs on vernalized rapeseed under cadmium stress. The results showed that application of ZnO NPs effectively alleviates yield reduction caused by low-temperature vernalization and stabilizes yield, and this yield enhancement is accompanied by a significant promotion of vegetative growth. Vernalization itself enhances cadmium uptake in rapeseed, but foliar application of ZnO NPs drastically reduces cadmium accumulation in leaves through competitive inhibition. At the molecular level, the combined treatment modulates the expression of key flowering-related genes, which collaboratively shorten the growth period. Ultimately, ZnO NP application to vernalized rapeseed enhances photosynthesis, boosts antioxidant enzyme activities, and regulates gene expression, thereby achieving stable and increased yield while significantly reducing cadmium accumulation.
