Arabidopsis WSS1A, a DNA-protein crosslink repair protease, delays leaf senescence in cooperation with SUMO3.
Article in The Plant journal : for cell and molecular 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
Leaf senescence, the final stage of leaf development, is regulated by complex interplays of intrinsic genetic programs and environmental cues. Throughout their lifetimes, all living organisms encounter various endogenous and environmental challenges, many of which can cause potentially fatal DNA damage. Among these, DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are particularly deleterious, as they obstruct essential processes such as replication and transcription, thereby compromising genome integrity and ultimately leading to premature aging across species. However, the biological significance of DPCs and their repair mechanisms in leaf senescence remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that cis-platin (cis-Pt), a potent DPC inducer, accelerates leaf senescence in Arabidopsis. We reveal that Arabidopsis DPC repair factor WSS1A, a WLM/Spr-T metalloprotease, plays a negative role in leaf senescence induced by cis-Pt treatment, darkness, and leaf age. WSS1A forms nuclear condensates via liquid-liquid phase separation both in vitro and in vivo, which is cooperatively driven by its N-terminal segment and intrinsically disordered region. Mechanistically, WSS1A non-covalently interacts with SMALL UBIQUITIN MODIFIER 3 (SUMO3) through its SUMO-interacting motif and is also covalently SUMOylated by SUMO3. Genetic analysis further reveals that WSS1A and SUMO3 act in the same pathway to control cis-Pt-induced leaf senescence. Together, this study establishes a conceptual framework connecting DPC repair and SUMO3-dependent regulation of WSS1A in modulating leaf senescence in Arabidopsis.
