Investigation of cytokinin production capacity and plant growth-promoting functions of the coral root endophytic Streptomyces spororaveus.

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
MAIN
conclusionStreptomyces spororaveus Ss06 enhanced root and shoot growth in Arabidopsis. The S. spororaveus Ss06 fermentation broth, enriched in cis-zeatin-type cytokinins, reshapes root architecture in a concentration-dependent manner and contributes to plant growth promotion. Thus, microbial cytokinins modulate plant development at the physiological level. Cytokinins are key regulators of plant growth and development, and increasing evidence indicates that plant-associated microorganisms contribute to host growth through cytokinin production. However, the physiological relevance of cis-zeatin-type cytokinins produced by Streptomyces remains largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the plant growth-promoting effects of a coral root endophytic S. spororaveus Ss06, using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant. Plate co-cultivation and pot experiments demonstrated that the S. spororaveus Ss06 fermentation broth significantly enhanced primary root elongation, lateral root formation, root hair development, leaf expansion, and biomass accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner. Targeted LC-MS/MS analysis revealed a pronounced enrichment of cis-zeatin-type cytokinins, particularly 2-methylthio-cis-zeatin riboside (2MeScZR), in the fermentation broth. Bioassays using cytokinin-related Arabidopsis mutants showed that both the S. spororaveus Ss06 fermentation broth and exogenous cis-zeatin riboside promoted plant growth, with root system architecture being particularly responsive. These results provide physiological and biochemical evidence that Streptomyces-derived cis-zeatin-type cytokinins contribute substantially to plant growth promotion. This study highlights the functional relevance of microbial cytokinins in modulating plant development and advances current understanding of Streptomyces-plant interactions from a plant physiological perspective.
