1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

MAIN

conclusionNatural sweet potato transgene Ib-rolB/C enhances abiotic and biotic stress tolerance through coordinated regulation of ROS signaling, antioxidant defense, immune activation, and secondary metabolism. Horizontal gene transfer from Agrobacterium has contributed to plant genome evolution, yet the physiological roles of naturally integrated T-DNA genes remain poorly understood. Cultivated sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) contains two cellular T-DNA regions, including the IbT-DNA2 locus harboring the naturally acquired gene Ib-rolB/C. Here, we investigated the stress-responsive expression and functional significance of Ib-rolB/C using transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana. The gene was strongly induced by cold, heat, and salinity. Moreover, Ib-rolB/C-expressing plants exhibited enhanced tolerance to abiotic stresses during germination, as well as increased resistance to Pseudomonas syringae and Botrytis cinerea. These phenotypes were associated with moderate ROS accumulation, enhanced antioxidant capacity, elevated GSH/GSSG ratios, reduced lipid peroxidation, and elevated basal expression of stress- and defense-related genes. In addition, Ib-rolB/C expression induced substantial metabolic reprogramming characterized by increased accumulation of flavonol glycosides and camalexin together with reduced glucosinolate levels. Our findings demonstrate that Ib-rolB/C functions as a multifunctional regulator integrating redox signaling, stress adaptation, immune responses, and secondary metabolism, highlighting the evolutionary significance of naturally acquired T-DNA genes in plants.
