Screening of microRNAs and target genes involved in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) infection in Brassica napus L.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2023. 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
backgroundRapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is the third largest source of vegetable oil in the world, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) is a major soil-borne fungal plant pathogen that infects more than 400 plant species, including B. napus. Sclerotinia stem rot caused an annual loss of 10 - 20% in rapeseed yield. Exploring the molecular mechanisms in response to S. sclerotiorum infection in B. napus is beneficial for breeding and cultivation of resistant varieties. To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms regarding B. napus tolerance to Sclerotinia stem rot, we employed a miRNAome sequencing approach and comprehensively investigated global miRNA expression profile among five relatively resistant lines and five susceptible lines of oilseed at 0, 24, and 48 h post-inoculation.
resultsIn this study, a total of 40 known and 1105 novel miRNAs were differentially expressed after S. sclerotiorum infection, including miR156, miR6028, miR394, miR390, miR395, miR166, miR171, miR167, miR164, and miR172. Furthermore, 8,523 genes were predicted as targets for these differentially expressed miRNAs. These target genes were mainly associated with disease resistance (R) genes, signal transduction, transcription factors, and hormones. Constitutively expressing miR156b (OX156b) plants strengthened Arabidopsis resistance against S. sclerotiorum accompanied by smaller necrotic lesions, whereas blocking miR156 expression in Arabidopsis (MIM156) led to greater susceptibility to S. sclerotiorum disease, associated with extensive cell death of necrotic lesions.
conclusionsThis study reveals the distinct difference in miRNA profiling between the relatively resistant lines and susceptible lines of B. napus in response to S. sclerotiorum. The identified differentially expressed miRNAs related to sclerotinia stem rot resistance are involved in regulating resistance to S. sclerotiorum in rapeseed by targeting genes related to R genes, signal transduction, transcription factors, and hormones. miR156 positively modulates the resistance to S. sclerotiorum infection by restricting colonization of S. sclerotiorum mycelia. This study provides a broad view of miRNA expression changes after S. sclerotiorum infection in oilseed and is the first to elucidate the function and mechanism underlying the miR156 response to S. sclerotiorum infection in oilseed rape.
