Transcription factor HvDREB4.1 and HvDREB4.2 from Hulless barley enhance tolerance to drought and salt stress in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.
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
backgroundPlant growth and development are affected by various abiotic stressors. In recent years, drought and salt stresses are frequently occurred as environmental problems affecting crop production. DREB transcription factors regulate the expression of downstream genes to resist abiotic stresses in various plants. However, little is known about the functions of DREB genes in hulless barely.
resultsIn this study, we analyzed the bioinformatic characteristics and performed expression profile of HvDREB4.1 and HvDREB4.2with drought, salt, and ABA treatments. The results of subcellular localization and transcriptional activation assay revealed that HvDREB4.1 and HvDREB4.2 localized in the nucleus and demonstrated transcriptional activation activity. The ectopic expression of the HvDREB4.1 and HvDREB4.2 in Arabidopsis thaliana improved seedling survival rate, root length and seed germination under drought and salt stress, and accompanied by higher chlorophyll content and CAT activities, but lower ROS accumulation, cell death, ion leakage, MDA content than wild-type plants. The transcript levels of drought- and salt-tress responsive genes were up-regulated in HvDREB4.1- and HvDREB4.2-overexpression lines than in wild-type plants treated with drought and salt stresses. Furthermore, the potentially interacted proteins related to stress resistance were identified with HvDREB4.1 and HvDREB4.2.
conclusionThese data demonstrated that HvDREB4.1 and HvDREB4.2 promoted drought and salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.
