1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Plants have evolved intricate mechanisms to adapt to tissue damage from environmental and biological factors, enhancing survival strategies. However, the link and mechanisms between wounding and dormancy traits remain unclear. Here we discovered that wounding dramatically accelerates bud-growth transition (BGT) in gladiolus and other horticultural geophytes, including Allium sativum and Allium cepa. Wounding induced jasmonic acid (JA) accumulation in gladiolus corms, promoting sucrose transport to dormant buds via the apoplastic pathway, supplying energy for cell division and facilitating BGT. Furthermore, we characterized a zinc finger transcription factor, ZINC FINGER OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA 11 (GhZAT11), responsive to both wounding and JA. GhZAT11 directly upregulated SUCROSE TRANSPORTER4 (GhSUT4) and CYCLIN D2;1 (GhCYCD2;1), enhancing sucrose transport and cell division in the shoot apical meristem. In addition, ZAT11, SUT4 and CYCD2;1 can act as markers for wound-induced BGT in geophytes. Our findings reveal that injuries trigger BGT via JA-regulated sucrose transport and cell division, offering novel insights into JA's role in wound-induced responses.
