1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe Ariadne (ARI) gene family belongs to RBR-type E3 ubiquitin ligases and regulates plant growth, development, and abiotic stress responses. However, a systematic genome-wide analysis of the ARI family has not been reported in wheat.

resultsIn this study, we identified 21 TaARI genes that were unevenly distributed on 12 chromosomes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that ARI proteins were divided into A, B, and C subfamilies. Most TaARIs existed in subfamilies A and B, and only TaARI7-D belonged to subfamilies C. TaARIs with closer phylogenetic relationships had similar gene structures and conserved motifs. Promoter cis-acting element analysis revealed that stress-responsive elements were the most abundant in the promoter of TaARIs. Expression profiling demonstrated that most TaARIs were preferentially expressed in roots, and induced by PEG-simulated drought or salt stress, with TaARI2, TaARI3, TaARI4, TaARI5 and TaARI6 as candidate stress regulators for drought and salt stresses. A total of 72 upstream transcription factors of TaARIs belonging to 24 transcription factor families were determined, with MYB-related, bZIP, and ERF transcription factors being the most abundant. Protein interaction prediction indicated that TaARIs interact with E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RBX1 and ubiquitin-40 S ribosomal protein S27a, suggesting that TaARIs might participate in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Haplotype analysis suggested that TaARI6-D-Hap I could be a superior drought-resistant haplotype with higher gene expression and seedling survival under drought stress.

conclusionsIn conclusion, our results provided crucial insights into the functions and molecular mechanisms of TaARI genes under drought and salt stress, and provided a gene resource for molecular breeding to stress‑resistant wheat varieties.
