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

backgroundRed Actinidia arguta has recently become highly popular because of its red appearance resulting from anthocyanin accumulation, and has gradually become an important breeding direction. However, regulators involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis have not been fully characterized in A. arguta.

resultsHere, we demonstrated that a key R2R3-MYB transcription factor, AaMYB61-like, plays a crucial role in A. arguta anthocyanin biosynthesis. The RT-qPCR results revealed that transient overexpression of AaMYB61-like in A. arguta fruit at 90-100 DAFB significantly promoted anthocyanin biosynthesis, as did the gene expression levels of AaCHS, AaCHI, AaF3H, AaLDOX, and AaF3GT, whereas the result of VIGS revealed the opposite results in A. arguta fruit at 105-115 DAFB. A transcriptional activation assay indicated that AaMYB61-like exhibited transcriptional activation activity. Y1H and LUC assays revealed that AaMYB61-like activates the promoters of AaCHS, AaLDOX, and AaF3GT. In addition, AabHLH137 was found to be related to fruit color from the transcriptome data. We demonstrated that AaMYB61-like promotes anthocyanin biosynthesis by interacting with AabHLH137 via Y2H, BiFC, and Agrobacterium-mediated co-transformation.

conclusionsOur study not only reveals the functions of AaMYB61-like and AabHLH137 in anthocyanin regulation, but also broadly enriches color regulation theory, establishing a foundation for clarifying the molecular mechanism of fruit coloration in kiwifruit.
