Emanating candidate genes responsible for fruit quality traits in citrus through GBS-based genome wide association studies.
Article in BMC genomics, 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
backgroundHigh throughput genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) serve as two powerful approaches to delineate the complexity of the biology among citrus genera. The most attributable character in citrus is the fruit quality which is determined by the combination of physical and chemical traits contributing towards the ripening phase, hence crop improvement. Both GBS and GWAS were employed on highly diverse eighty-two different citrus genotypes to study twenty-three fruit quality traits aiming towards the genetic improvement of citrus fruit traits.
resultsGBS generated 215 million-reads covering 38.78Gb of sequence data, with an average of 2.8 million-reads per sample. Eventually, 44,229 high-confidence SNPs were found that spanned on the all the chromosomes from 1 to 9 which were further used for GWAS analysis. Association mapping resulted in the detection of 354 significant loci linked to twenty-three fruit quality traits. Thirty-six pleiotropic SNPs were found and more genetic loci were found to be associated with mesocarp width (MS), seed weight per fruit (SW), juice content in endocarp (JCE), average number of seeds per fruit (ANSF), leaf lamina length (LLL), leaf lamina width (LLW) and ratio of leaf length to leaf width (RLW) on chromosome 5. Twelve candidate genes associated within the 5 Mb linkage disequilibrium (LD) region of these 36 pleiotropic quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) were reported. These candidate genes were associated with the fruit quality traits viz. MS, JCE, fruit weight (FW), SW, ANSF, average number of segments per fruit (NSPF), PC, JCE, LLL, LLW and RLW in citrus. We found that the majorly identified candidate gene with loci Cs2g_pb011080 and Cs7g_pb024190 were responsible for controlling pleotropic traits i.e. MS, PC and JCE exhibiting oxidoreductase activity, vital for reducing the bitterness in citrus and promoting fruit quality among citrus genera.
conclusionsThis study suggested that the identified significant loci could be exploited for the selection of desirable character at early stages in future citrus breeding programmes promoting fruit quality attributes leading to accelerated acceptability of citrus.
