Apomixis frequency in polyploid wild populations of Psidium cattleyanum f. lucidum (Myrteae, Myrtaceae).
Article in Plant reproduction, 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
The link between apomictic reproduction and polyploidy in plants has generated numerous hypotheses. Psidium cattleyanum is a valuable model for investigating this relationship, as it is a polyploid woody species that exhibits pseudogamous gametophytic apomixis. In this study, we aim to determine the predominant reproductive mode in natural populations of Psidium cattleyanum f. lucidum. We assessed its association with ploidy level, genetic diversity, and population structure. We analyzed populations representing the four ploidy levels (2C = 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x) present in Uruguay. Reproductive pathways were inferred by combining flow cytometric seed screening (FCSS) with microsatellite (SSR) genotyping of progeny arrays, and population-level differences were evaluated across both datasets. Diplosporous pseudogamous apomixis was identified as the predominant reproductive mode across populations. Importantly, the relative contributions of apomictic versus sexual reproduction as well as the frequencies of different seed progeny types varied markedly among populations and ploidy levels. Genotyping revealed predominantly clonal seed progeny, yet high within-population genetic variability and strong genetic structure were maintained. Moreover, gamete ploidy levels and their combinations were characteristic of each population, resulting in distinct patterns of seed formation among populations. Overall, facultative pseudogamous apomixis predominates in natural populations of P.c. f. lucidum. Our findings demonstrate previously unrecognized variation in reproductive pathways among populations, linked to differences in ploidy level and population genetic structure.
