Subtle but Significant: Intraspecific Genome Size Variation in Durum Wheat Landraces and Cultivars.
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Genome size is a significant trait connected to the evolutionary history of plants and frequently linked to speciation events. In the current study, we evaluated intraspecific variation in 2C-values across a durum wheat collection comprising landraces and cultivars of diverse origins, preserved in the Cypriot gene bank. Forty-seven accessions were analysed by Propidium Iodide (PI) staining/flow cytometry (FCM), and subtle differences were noted. 2C content varied from 25.04 pg for Kyperounta landrace to 26.78 pg for ARI00068. In general, 2C value overlap was observed across the collection, although some accessions were distinguished. Comparison among landraces and modern varieties indicated that landraces exhibit a broader range of 2C content than cultivars, but a clear clustering based on geographic origin was not observed. The genome size data provided here could offer an additional layer of information for germplasm collections and serve as a stepping stone for further omics analyses.
