The regulatory role of DzERF94 in carotenoid biosynthesis during ripening in durian (Durio zibethinus) pulp.
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 messageDzERF94 correlates with DzLCYE and lutein in pale-yellow durian; dual-luciferase and EMSA assays show it binds and activates the DzLCYE promoter, altering carotenoid production in tomato. Durian pulp exhibits varying intensities of yellow color because of variations in carotenoid content and composition among cultivars. Carotenoid biosynthesis is regulated by multiple factors, including APETALA2 (AP2)/ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factors. In this study, four durian cultivars with distinct yellow color intensities were analyzed. Expression profiling of carotenoid biosynthetic and AP2/ERF genes during fruit development and ripening identified the AP2/ERF transcription factor DzERF94. Kathoei Nueakhao, a pale-yellow cultivar, was the only cultivar in which both DzERF94 and DzLCYE remained expressed at the ripe stage, and it also accumulated the highest lutein content. Transient expression of DzERF94 in tomatoes led to increased LCYE transcript levels and lutein content. Additionally, DzERF94 activated the DzLCYE promoter in a dual-luciferase assay, and an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) showed that DzERF94 binds the DzLCYE promoter in vitro. Transcriptome analysis of these transiently transformed tomatoes further suggested that DzERF94 influences carotenoid metabolism and ethylene and abscisic acid signaling pathways. These findings provide new insights into the role of AP2/ERF proteins in regulating carotenoid accumulation during durian fruit development and ripening across cultivars.
