Beyond light signaling: the broad regulatory spectrum of AFPs in plant growth and development.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 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
AFPs (ABI5-BINDING PROTEINS) are a unique class of small, plant-specific proteins, originally identified through their interaction with ABI5 (ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 5), a pivotal transcription factor in ABA (ABSCISIC ACID) signaling pathway. Emerging evidence indicates that AFPs act as multifunctional integrators governing not only ABA signaling but also a broad spectrum of plant growth, development, biotic and abiotic stress adaptation. This review systematically summarizes the domain architecture, interactome networks, and evolutionary conservation of AFPs, and further highlights the pleiotropic functions of AFPs in seed dormancy and germination, photoperiodic flowering, plant architecture modulation, abiotic stress tolerance and disease resistance. Through diverse molecular mechanisms, including recruitment of corepressors, control of target protein stability, and modulation of chromatin states, AFPs operate as microprotein modulators at critical nodes of phytohormone networks, offering novel insights into the regulatory principles balancing plant growth and stress resilience.
