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

key messageThis work identifies GhMYB102 as an R2R3-MYB transcription factor positively regulating cotton resistance to Verticillium dahlia likely by promoting lignin biosynthesis, offering a promising gene resource for breeding Verticillium wilt-resistant cotton varieties. Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is a devastating vascular disease of cotton that leads to significant yield losses worldwide. Therefore, identifying genes that confer resistance to Verticillium wilt and incorporating them into breeding programs are essential for sustainable cotton production. In this study, promoter cis-element analysis, V. dahliae inoculation, hormone treatments, and qRT-PCR were used to identify R2R3-MYB transcription factors responsive to V. dahliae infection in Gossypium hirsutum. Among these candidates, GhMYB102 was strongly induced by V. dahliae. Silencing of GhMYB102 by virus-induced gene silencing in G. hirsutum resulted in significantly increased disease symptoms and wilting rate following V. dahliae infection compared with control plants. In contrast, overexpression of GhMYB102 in both Arabidopsis and G. hirsutum enhanced resistance to Verticillium wilt. These results indicate that GhMYB102 acts as a positive regulator of resistance to Verticillium wilt. Further analyses, including lignin histochemical staining and expression profiling of lignin biosynthesis-related genes, revealed that GhMYB102 increases lignin accumulation in stems of G. hirsutum. Collectively, these findings suggest that GhMYB102 enhances Verticillium wilt resistance in G. hirsutum likely through modulating lignin biosynthesis. This study provides valuable gene resources for breeding Verticillium wilt-resistant cotton cultivars.
