The light-responsive transcription factor SlBBX20 improves low-temperature resistance of Solanum lycopersicum by affecting photosynthetic capacity, antioxidant capacity, and osmotic adjustment.
Article in Plant cell reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 messageExpression of SlBBX20 in tomato was significantly induced by low-temperature stress. SlBBX20 plays a positive role for tomato to resistance low-temperature stress. SIBBX20 gene plays an important role in enhancing low-temperature resistance in tomato seedlings. Under normal conditions, overexpression of SIBBX20 increased the net photosynthetic rate and leaf pigment content (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids), the expression of the anthocyanin synthase gene (SIDFR), and the content of anthocyanins in tomato, whereas the photosynthetic capacity, the expression of SIDFR, and the content of anthocyanins in VIGS-mediated SlBBX20-silenced materials did not differ significantly from those in the control. Under low-temperature stress, overexpression of SlBBX20 significantly decreased REC, MDA content, ROS level, and starch accumulation, and increased RWC, photosynthetic capacity, antioxidant enzyme activity, anthocyanin content, and soluble sugar content in tomato leaves. In addition, overexpression of SlBBX20 increased the expression of SlDFR, antioxidant enzymes (SlSOD, SlPOD, and SICAT), low-temperature resistance-related genes (SICBF2, SICBF3, and SlWHYI), starch degradation genes (SIAMY), and decrease the expression of starch synthesis genes (SISA2, SIUGD), which improved the antioxidant capacity, reduced the accumulation of starch, and improved the low-temperature tolerance of tomato seedlings. In conclusion, SlBBX20 enhanced tomato low-temperature tolerance by maintaining the photosynthetic capacity of leaves, reducing ROS and starch accumulation, and increasing antioxidant enzymes and soluble sugar content.
