Unveiling drought-tolerant genotypes and associated adaptive mechanisms in rapeseed using multi-traits approach.

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
Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a valuable oilseed crop due to its high nutritional value and rich oil content, making it a major source of edible oil. However, frequent drought events, aggravated by climate change, pose challenges to its productivity. Whereas a set of genotypes was previously investigated for their response to early drought during germination and seedling stages, the present study aimed to identify those genotypes exhibiting their tolerance to late-stage drought (occurring at flowering and maturity), and to elucidate their adaptive mechanisms, via an integrative multi-trait approach. A pot experiment was conducted under controlled greenhouse conditions, using a completely randomized design with three replications. The genotypes were evaluated for agromorphological, physiological, and biochemical parameters under two irrigation regimes (100% and 50% field capacity). Drought stress significantly reduced growth, yield components, and chlorophyll content. In contrast, water deficit induced accumulation of H₂O₂, MDA, relative electrical conductivity (EL), proline, and soluble sugars by about 40% and increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase activities by more than 42%. Nevertheless, the genotypes reacted differently to stress. Compared to the other genotypes, the varieties 'Nap9', 'Marina', 'Moufida', 'Baraka', and 'Redana' exhibited higher SPAD and Fv/Fm levels, along with lower concentrations of H₂O₂, MDA, and EL, indicating better drought tolerance. This tolerance was associated with increased enzyme activity and greater osmolyte accumulation. Drought reduced seed yield by 40% and increased H₂O₂ and MDA concentrations by 71% on average, whereas 'Nap9', 'Marina', and 'Redana' limited the increase in EL to only 20% while maintaining 12-14 g plant⁻¹ seed yield under stress. In particular, 'Nap9', 'Marina', and 'Redana' maintained better growth and higher productivity under drought, indicating their higher resilience. These genotypes could be a valuable germplasm for developing drought-tolerant rapeseed cultivars.
