Unraveling the genetic mechanisms of waterlogging stress through the leaf metabolome of a sweet corn panel.
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 2 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
backgroundSweet corn is a crop with global economic importance, yet it is highly susceptible to waterlogging stress. The molecular and metabolic mechanisms underlying its waterlogging response remain poorly understood.
resultsWe used an integrated multi-omics approach to investigate the genetic and biochemical basis of waterlogging tolerance in a diverse panel of 185 super sweet corn inbred lines. Waterlogging reduced seedling growth by 21-35%, and transcriptomic analysis identified 295 DEGs, including downregulated nitrogen assimilation genes (e.g., Zmgln2) and upregulated stress-responsive transcription factors involved in calcium ion transport pathways. Metabolomic analysis identified 75 DAMs, particularly amino acids and other organic acids that are associated with anaerobic metabolism. GWAS pinpointed a pleiotropic locus, Zmhpc1, that regulates glycerol-related metabolism and associated agronomic traits.
conclusionsOur findings provide novel insights into the adaptive responses to waterlogging stress and identify promising candidate genes for developing climate-resilient sweet corn varieties, offering practical applications for breeding waterlogging-tolerant sweet corn.
