ATAC sequencing and transcriptomics reveal OsCHR732 function in regulating chromatin accessibility and gene expression in pollen and ovule development in rice.
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
backgroundThe fertility of pollen and ovules directly influences seed set and overall yield in rice, however, the molecular regulatory mechanisms governing rice pollen and ovule development remain poorly understood.
resultsIn this study, we discovered that functional knockout mutants of the rice chromatin remodeling factor OsCHR732 exhibited significantly reduced pollen viability, accompanied by abnormal ovule development. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) and β-glucuronidase (GUS) staining revealed that OsCHR732 was highly expressed in young panicles, ovaries, and anthers during the mid-to-late developmental stages. RNA-Seq analysis of young spikelets demonstrated that several genes involved in MAPK signaling and plant hormone signal transduction pathways were significantly down-regulated in the oschr732 mutant. ATAC (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin)-Seq analysis revealed a decrease in chromatin accessibility at the promoter regions of several genes in the mutant. Integrated ATAC-Seq and transcriptomic analysis further demonstrated that six key genes involved in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ETH) signal transduction were significantly downregulated, including MAP1, WRKY53, ABI5, ABIL1, JAZ11, and ETR2, which expression pattern were similar to that of OsCHR732.
conclusionsThese findings provide a critical foundation for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which OsCHR732 regulates pollen and ovule fertility in rice.
