Systemic induction of peroxidase and phenolic responses to UV radiation in Nicotiana tabacum.
Article in Plant cell reports, 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
key messageSystemic changes in isoperoxidase profile and phenolic composition mirror those in leaves exposed to ultraviolet radiation, underscoring the essential role of systemic responses in plant health and development. Plants respond to direct exposure to broadband ultraviolet (UV) light (280-400 nm) through localized protective and regulatory mechanisms. In our recent study using Nicotiana tabacum as a model plant, we showed that protective responses triggered by moderate, non-harmful UV doses could spread from directly treated leaves to UV-unexposed leaves situated above (systemic leaves). This study aimed to broaden the understanding of previous findings by investigating the similarities between direct and systemic plant responses, concentrating on two main aspects: class III peroxidase (POD) isozymes and the phenolic profiles of leaves. We compared the responses of directly UV-exposed and systemic leaves from the same plant with those of negative (completely UV-unexposed) and positive control (fully UV-exposed) plants. Native gel electrophoresis confirmed a general increase in POD activity in both direct and systemic UV responses, demonstrating similar rearrangements in POD isozyme patterns, which is a novel finding. Furthermore, high-performance liquid chromatography analyses of leaf extracts showed similar quantitative and qualitative alterations in phenolic profiles between UV-exposed leaves and systemic leaves. These changes included increased levels of potential POD substrates, such as chlorogenic acids and flavonoids, particularly quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, which serves as an excellent UV-absorbing compound and antioxidant. In general, our findings indicate that the extent and nature of the systemic UV response are similar to those triggered by direct exposure to UV radiation. These results highlight the potential of applying localized low-dose UV treatment to activate systemic antioxidant responses that affect plant health and their growth.
