Cloning and functional determination of PpyASR1 during fruit development in Pyrus pyrifolia.
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
backgroundAbscisic acid, stress and ripening-induced genes (ASRs) play crucial roles in fruit maturation, and the isolation, identification, and functional characterization of these genes have been extensively studied in plants. 'Guanyang' snow pear is a high-quality pear cultivar with distinct regional characteristics in Guangxi. However, the gene responsible for ASR1 and its specific functional attributes remain unidentified.
resultsIn this study, PpyASR1 was successfully isolated from 'Guanyang' snow pear fruits. This gene was found to exhibit specific expression during fruit development, with its expression level following an initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that the protein product of the PpyASR1 gene predominantly localizes within the nucleus, supporting its role as a transcription factor regulating maturation and senescence in fruit tissues. Virus-induced gene silencing experiments demonstrated that suppressing of PpyASR1 gene expression in 'Guanyang' snow pear fruit significantly delayed senescence-associated deterioration. Compared to the control group, the treated fruits exhibited higher firmness, lower ABA content, reduced ethylene production, lower soluble solid content, and higher titratable acidity. Transient overexpression of PpyASR1 in 'Guanyang' snow pear resulted in markedly accelerated fruit senescence and postharvest deterioration. Compared to controls, these fruits showed reduced firmness, increased ABA content and ethylene production, and lower titratable acidity, whereas no significant difference in soluble solids content was detected.
conclusionThe current findings provide valuable insights into the storage characteristics of 'Guanyang' snow pear and establish a theoretical foundation for understanding the potential role of PpyASR1 in regulating fruit senescence and postharvest deterioration.
