The trxG protein ULT1 regulates Arabidopsis organ size by interacting with TCP14/15 to antagonize the LIM peptidase DA1 for H3K4me3 on target genes.

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
Plant organ size is an important agronomic trait that makes a significant contribution to plant yield. Despite its central importance, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying organ size control remain to be fully clarified. Here, we report that the trithorax group protein ULTRAPETALA1 (ULT1) interacts with the TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PCF14/15 (TCP14/15) transcription factors by antagonizing the LIN-11, ISL-1, and MEC-3 (LIM) peptidase DA1, thereby regulating organ size in Arabidopsis. Loss of ULT1 function significantly increases rosette leaf, petal, silique, and seed size, whereas overexpression of ULT1 results in reduced organ size. ULT1 associates with TCP14 and TCP15 to co-regulate cell size by affecting cellular endoreduplication. Transcriptome analysis revealed that ULT1 and TCP14/15 regulate common target genes involved in endoreduplication and leaf development. ULT1 can be recruited by TCP14/15 to promote lysine 4 of histone H3 trimethylation at target genes, activating their expression to determine final cell size. Furthermore, we found that ULT1 influences the interaction of DA1 and TCP14/15 and antagonizes the effect of DA1 on TCP14/15 degradation. Collectively, our findings reveal a novel epigenetic mechanism underlying the regulation of organ size in Arabidopsis.
