Histone deacetylation links jasmonic acid signaling to flower size control in rose.
Article in Molecular horticulture, 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
Flower size is a key ornamental trait in roses (Rosa spp.), determined by coordinated regulation of cell proliferation and expansion. Although jasmonic acid (JA) influences plant growth, its role in flower size control remains unclear. Here, we showed that methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment reduces flower size in Rosa chinensis, accompanied by elevated expression of the JA-responsive transcription factor RcMYC2. Silencing RcMYC2 resulted in larger flowers due to enhanced petal cell expansion and upregulation of cell expansion-related genes. Mechanistically, RcMYC2 directly bound to the promoter of the expansin gene RcEXPA8 and repressed its transcription via its interaction with the Mediator subunit RcMED25. Consistently, MeJA failed to reduce flower size in RcMED25-silenced plants. Upon JA signal activation, RcMYC2 recruited RcMED25 and the histone deacetylase RcHDA8 to the RcEXPA8 promoter, leading to transcriptional repression via histone deacetylation and restriction of petal cell expansion. These findings demonstrate that histone deacetylation links JA signaling to flower size control, providing new insights into hormone-mediated regulation of organ growth in ornamental plants.
