RPT2a-mediated degradation of WDR5a regulates flowering time in Arabidopsis.
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 messageRPT2a and CUL4-DDB1A-mediated degradation of WDR5a regulates COMPASS-like complex-dependent H3K4me3 homeostasis and flowering time in Arabidopsis through the FLC-FT/SOC1 regulatory module. The Arabidopsis complex of proteins associated with Set1 (COMPASS)-like complex plays a crucial role in regulating H3K4me3, a key histone modification associated with active transcription. Within this complex, WD40-REPEAT 5a (WDR5a) functions as a structural backbone protein, critical for maintaining proper H3K4me3 levels. WDR5a is subject to degradation via the 26S proteasome pathway, a process that significantly influences H3K4me3 dynamics. Utilizing a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified the 26S proteasome subunit REGULATORY PARTICLE AAA-ATPASE2a (RPT2a) as an interacting partner of WDR5a, highlighting its role in WDR5a's proteasomal degradation. Further investigation revealed that the ubiquitin ligase complex Cullin4 (CUL4)-DNA Damage Binding protein 1A (DDB1A) targets WDR5a for ubiquitination, with lysine residues K31 and K211 being potential ubiquitination sites. RPT2a's involvement in WDR5a degradation consequently affects the expression of the floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC), thereby establishing an inverse relationship with the expression of flowering time control genes FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CO 1 (SOC1). As these genes are directly repressed by FLC, their modulation via WDR5a degradation ultimately influences flowering time in Arabidopsis, underscoring the complex interplay between histone modification and plant development.
