Genome-wide identification and characterization of the bZIP family in the Mangrove Plant Kandelia obovata and its role in response to stress.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. 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
backgroundThe basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental changes. The mangrove plant Kandelia obovata, native to subtropical and tropical coastal intertidal zones, has evolved various adaptive mechanisms to cope with unstable muddy substrates, tidal fluctuations, saltwater intrusion, and intense ultraviolet radiation. This study aims to provide a comprehensive characterization of the bZIP gene family in K. obovata and investigate its functional roles in response to environmental stresses.
resultsIn the K. obovata genome, 66 bZIP genes were identified and named KobZIP1 to KobZIP66, categorized based on their chromosomal locations. These KobZIP genes exhibited diversity in physicochemical properties, such as protein length, molecular weight, and isoelectric point, and were all predicted to localize to the nucleus. Phylogenetic and structural analyses classified the KobZIP genes into 12 subfamilies, with subfamily A containing the majority of members. Gene structure analysis revealed variations in the number and position of exons and introns among subfamilies, reflecting their evolutionary history and potential functional diversity. Conserved motif analysis showed that all bZIP family members contained motifs in the basic and hinge regions, with subfamily D displaying the greatest motif diversity. Promoter region analysis identified various cis-acting elements associated with responses to phytohormones (ABA, GA, ET, IAA, MeJA, SA) and environmental stress. The expression patterns of KobZIP genes across different tissues and under various abiotic stress conditions were analyzed using transcriptomic data and experimental validation.
conclusionThis study provides a comprehensive characterization and functional analysis of the bZIP gene family in K. obovata, offering new insights into their roles in plant development and environmental adaptation. The expression profiles of KobZIP genes during root development and post-embryonic stages, along with their responses to ABA, low temperature, and salt stress, underscore their potential significance in the adaptation of mangrove plants to the intertidal environment.
