SNP-based association analysis of key genes involved in triglyceride biosynthesis reveals genetic regulation of oil content and fatty acid composition in tree peony seeds.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
backgroundOilseed tree peony is a high-value woody oil crop with significant economic and nutritional value, playing a crucial role in addressing global demand for healthy edible oils, yet its genetic improvement for oil-related traits is hindered by the lack of efficient molecular markers.
resultsIn this study, 141 tree peony germplasms were analyzed for oil content (OC) and fatty acid (FA) composition, revealing significant variations in total fatty acids (TFAs, 186.74-301.82 mg/g), unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs, 181.27-293.47 mg/g), and dominant α-linolenic acid (ALA, 41.77-64.73%). Correlation analysis and principal component analysis indicated that 'Sai Huang Hou' was an excellent germplasm with superior oil traits. Genome-wide identification uncovered 18 triglyceride biosynthesis genes, including 3 PoGPATs, 5 PoLPATs, 10 PoDGATs, with conserved domains and stage-specific expression patterns during seed development. Among these, PoGPAT9 and PoLPAT2 exhibited dynamic expression, while PoDGAT2 reached its peak during late maturation. Association analysis identified a total of 16 significant association combinations involving 6 phenotypic traits and 9 SNP loci, explaining 2.52-8.22% of phenotypic variation. Multiple comparisons of genotypic effects at significantly associated loci on oil-related traits showed that the 485 bp mutation in PoLPAT2 increased oil content by 1.40%. For PoDGAT2, the 759 locus mutation elevated linoleic acid content by 3.81 mg/g and reduced α-linolenic acid content by 10.30 mg/g relative to the wild genotype.
conclusionThis study provides new insights into the genetic regulation of lipid metabolism in tree peony seeds and offers molecular markers for breeding high-quality oilseed varieties.
