Biosynthesis of pathogen-induced hydroxylated tryptamine derivatives in barley.
Article in Plant physiology, 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
Barley (Hordeum vulgare), a major cereal crop, suffers significant yield losses due to pathogen attack. Understanding the chemical defense responses that follow pathogen infection is essential to uncover new resistance targets in barley. In this study, we employed an untargeted metabolomics and mass spectrometry imaging approach to profile the chemical landscape of barley leaves inoculated with the hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. teres, the causal agent of net blotch. Pathogen infection triggered a significant chemical defense response, including the induction of many phenylpropanoids and alkaloids. Specifically, a strong induction of tryptophan-derived metabolites was observed, including tryptamine, serotonin, and the novel 2-oxo-tryptamine, which accumulated at infection sites. Integration of transcriptomic-driven pathway discovery with biochemical characterization identified a flavin-containing monooxygenase and a cytochrome P450 (CYP71P10) involved in 2-oxo-tryptamine and serotonin biosynthesis, respectively. Our results show increased metabolic investment toward indolic compounds in barley leaves following infection, and activation of these pathways across different pathogens and cultivars suggests a conserved resistance mechanism. This study provides new insights into the barley defense response, offering new metabolic targets for the development of disease-resistant cereal crops.
