MaGti1, a Gti1/Pac2 family protein, contributes to conidiation pattern shift in Metarhizium acridum.
Article in Pest management science, 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
backgroundMicrocycle conidiation (MC) holds substantial promise for improving both the yield and quality of conidia from entomopathogenic fungi, which are well-recognized biocontrol agents. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms governing shifts between two distinct conidiation patterns, normal conidiation (NC) and MC, is therefore critical for optimizing fungal efficacy.
resultsIn the model fungus Metarhizium acridum, MaGti1 was identified as a conserved, nuclear-localized transcription factor of the Gti1/Pac2 family. The MaGti1-disruption strain (ΔMaGti1) displayed significantly accelerated conidial germination, reducing GT
conclusionsMaGti1 is a pivotal regulator of conidiation pattern, stress tolerance, and virulence in M. acridum, with its function dependent on the conserved Gti1/Pac2 domain. These findings provide new insights into the role of Gti1/Pac2 proteins in entomopathogenic fungi and offer a mechanistic basis for future genetic improvement of these biocontrol agents. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
