Low-intensity laser exposure enhances rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth through physio-biochemical regulation, transcriptional modulation, and microbiome alteration.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Environmental stressors significantly impact plant growth and agricultural productivity, necessitating innovative approaches to enhance crop resilience and yield. While high-intensity laser applications in agriculture have traditionally been limited to destructive purposes due to their harmful effects on plant growth, the emergence of low-intensity laser technology presents new opportunities for crop improvement. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of low-intensity laser treatment remain largely unexplored. This study investigated the effects of low-intensity laser treatment on rice seedling growth, physiological and molecular responses, and rhizosphere microbial communities. Low-intensity laser treatment (2 µmol/m²/s PPFD) significantly enhanced root and shoot growth, enhanced biomass accumulation, and improved yield parameters, with a 16.8% increase in effective panicles and 9.01% higher yield per plant. Physiological analyses revealed elevated antioxidant enzyme activities (POD and SOD) and reduced ROS levels in treated plants. Transmission electron microscopy showed improved chloroplast structure, correlating with enhanced photosynthetic efficiency. Transcriptomic analysis identified 623 differentially expressed genes, with significant enrichment in pathways related to photosynthesis, carbon metabolism, and hormone signaling. Notably upregulation was observed in photosynthesis-related genes (OsPsbB and OsCYF) and hormone signaling genes (OsWRKY114 and OsWRI1). Additionally, 16S rRNA sequencing revealed significant restructuring of rhizosphere bacterial communities in laser-treated plants, with enrichment of beneficial genera including Pseudomonas and Enterobacter. These findings establish low-intensity laser treatment as a promising tool for enhancing rice productivity through coordinated regulation of photosynthetic efficiency, stress responses, and beneficial microbiome interactions.
