Identification of Leaf Rust-Related Gene Signature in Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Using High-Throughput Sequencing, Network Analysis, and Machine Learning Algorithms.
Article in Rice (New York, N.Y.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Wheat provides staple food and industrial raw material for humans and animals, but its production decreased due to leaf rust (Lr) disease caused by Puccinia triticina by up to 15%. It is challenging to identify Lr-associated genes due to the limited sample size and large genome, which hinders the breeding efforts for Lr disease. This study integrated RNA-seq data to mine the candidate genes using meta-analysis, WGCNA, and machine-learning approaches. As a result, 2153 upregulated and 1579 downregulated meta-differentially expressed genes (meta-DEGs) were identified, with four known genes (Lr13 and Lr67/Yr46/Sr55). The meta-DEGs were significantly enriched in antifungal innate immune response, glutathione metabolism, detoxification, phenylalanine, and flavonoid biosynthesis. Among these, 124 resistance (R) genes (~ 85.48% upregulated) were expressed differentially, and ~ 80% belonged to plant pattern recognition receptors (PPRs) that triggered immunity. Likewise, 162 transcription factors (TFs), including WRKY (43), ERF (30), and MYB (33), were associated with Lr disease, and 81 candidate hub genes were co-expressed for Lr. Finally, nine potential candidate genes, including TraesCS7A03G0388400 (BSP), TraesCS1A03G0869900 (PR4), TraesCS6B03G1228800 (AP2/ERF), TraesCS3B03G0088700 (MYB62), TraesCS5A03G1198800 (CYP96A10), and TraesCSU03G0129300 (LTP4), were mined via attribute weighting and machine learning model (XGBoost AUC = 0.97 and accuracy = 0.90) and validated via single-gene model, linear regression, and t-test at p ≤ 0.05. The relative expressions calculated via RT-qPCR assay of nine genes were significantly higher at different time points under Lr infection. Thus, this study reported genes under Lr infection using advanced bioinformatics and supervised machine-learning models, which provide fundamental insight and a solid foundation for understanding the molecular mechanisms of Lr resistance and offer an advanced pipeline for future breeding programs to develop superior cultivars with durable resistance.
