Transcriptional regulation of monolignol O-methylation in Cleome hassleriana.
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
Catechyl (C) lignin, a linear homopolymer restricted to seed coats of a limited number of plant species, has favorable properties for chemical and biomaterial manufacture. In the seed coat of Cleome hassleriana, lignin composition switches from guaiacyl (G-) lignin to C-lignin during development. This involves loss of expression of caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase (ChCCoAOMT) and caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (ChCOMT), and upregulation of a cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (ChCAD5) and laccase (ChLAC8) with substrate preference for the caffeyl moiety. How the loss of monolignol O-methylation is regulated is not understood. We reconstructed coexpression networks of the above enzymes with transcription factor (TF) candidates based on RNA sequencing data. Using a dual-luciferase reporter assay, we identified ChMYB20 as an activator of the ChCCoAOMT and ChCOMT promoters, and ChMYB6-like as a repressor. ChMYB5 and ChMYB42 induced ChCAD5, ChLAC8, and ChMYB6-like, and ChNAC92-like induced ChMYB5 and ChMYB42. The roles of the TFs in the network were further confirmed by expressing them in Cleome hairy roots. ChMYB5 and ChMYB42 suppressed monolignol O-methyltransferase genes, activated downstream C-lignin-associated genes, and also activated each other, suggesting they are players in the switch from G- to C-lignin biosynthesis via blockage of monolignol O-methylation. Models for the gene regulatory networks are presented.
