ESSENTIAL MEIOTIC ENDONUCLEASE 1 is required for chloroplast development and DNA repair in rice.
Article in Plant biotechnology journal, 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
Chloroplast development is fundamental to photosynthesis and plant growth but is sensitive to environmental stress. Chloroplast development and division require genome stability and DNA repair, but the underlying mechanisms have been unclear. Using a forward genetic approach, we identified the striped-leaf mutant k48 in the rice (Oryza sativa L. japonica) cultivar KY131 background. k48 displayed defects in chloroplast development and photosynthesis, especially under high-light conditions. Genetic and complementation studies revealed that the loss of ESSENTIAL MEIOTIC ENDONUCLEASE 1 (EME1) is responsible for the defects in k48. Transcriptomic analysis showed that OsEME1 globally regulates the expression of genes involved in photosynthesis and DNA repair. Furthermore, mutations in OsEME1 led to cell cycle arrest and a DNA damage response. An in vitro endonuclease activity assay indicated that OsEME1 directly binds to and cleaves DNA substrates with a specific structure and that four conserved amino acids are required for its activity. Notably, OsEME1 targeted DNA fragments of rice GOLDEN-LIKE 1 (GLK1) and GLK2. We also demonstrated that OsEME1 interacts with the structure-specific endonuclease methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and UV-SENSITIVE PROTEIN 81 (MUS81). This study highlights the role of OsEME1 in regulating chloroplast development by modulating homologous recombination repair in response to damage to double-stranded DNA.
