Effects of tryptamine on duckweed growth.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Introduction: Plant growth regulation involves complex biochemical and signaling pathways. Tryptamine (Try), a polyamine derived from tryptophan, has been implicated in plant growth and stress responses, yet its specific regulatory mechanisms have not been fully understood. Methods: This study investigates the physiological and molecular effects of Try on Lemna turionifera 5511, focusing on its role in growth regulation, photosynthesis, and hormonal balance. Our findings reveal that Try content increases in overgrown duckweed, suggesting its involvement in aging and stress responses. Exogenous Try application at concentrations ranging from 50 to 200 μM resulted in dose-dependent growth inhibition, with 150 μM Try significantly reducing growth rate, leaf area, and chlorophyll content. Results: The Chlorophyll a (Chla) and Chlorophyll b (Chlb) levels were decreased by 37.5% and 40.43%, respectively. Try treatment also negatively impacted photosynthesis, as evidenced by reduced chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and downregulation of 16 photosynthesis-related genes. Additionally, Try induced oxidative stress, increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxidase (POD) activity by 9.17% and 10.11%, respectively. While modulating endogenous hormone levels, particularly increasing abscisic acid (ABA) and decreasing cytokinin (CTK) content by 23.58% and 17.55%. Moreover, transcriptomic analysis revealed an upregulation of auxin (IAA) metabolism-related enzymes by Try addition. Meanwhile, changes in the expression of genes related to the tryptophan metabolism pathways indicate a metabolic change associated with aging. Discussion: These results highlight the complex role of Try in regulating duckweed growth and stress responses, suggesting its potential as a regulatory molecule in plant development. Further research is needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the influence of Try and its applications in agriculture and environmental management.
