PpAPRR2 regulates chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development during early fruit development in peach.
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 messagePpAPRR2 promotes chlorophyll accumulation in peach fruit, and its overexpression enhances fruitgreening in tomato. Fruit peel color represents an important quality trait in peach (Prunus persica L.), determined by the dynamic balance between chlorophyll and anthocyanin metabolism. While the regulatory networks controlling anthocyanin regulation have been well documented, the molecular mechanisms governing chlorophyll accumulation and peel greening remain less understood. Here, we identified nine ARR-B family transcription factors in peach and found that PpAPRR2 was predominantly expressed during early fruit development, showing a strong positive correlation with chlorophyll levels. Subcellular localization assays revealed that PpAPRR2 was localized in the nucleus. Functional analysis using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in peach fruit reduced chlorophyll content and downregulation of photosynthesis-related genes. In contrast, heterologous overexpression of PpAPRR2 in tomato resulted in darker green fruits, enhanced chlorophyll content, and increased expression of chlorophyll biosynthesis genes. Transcriptome analysis further confirmed promotion of photosynthetic pathways and suppression of chlorophyll degradation in PpAPRR2-overexpressing tomato fruits. Together, these results demonstrate that PpAPRR2 acts as a regulator promoting chlorophyll accumulation and chloroplast development in peach fruit. This study provides novel insights into the genetic control of fruit peel coloration and offers a potential molecular target for improving fruit quality through genetic engineering.
