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

backgroundStrawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is a highly valued crop, susceptible to various diseases, with Colletotrichum siamense-induced crown rot being a major concern. Emerging evidence indicates that leucine-rich repeat only protein (LRRop) participates in plant responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses.

resultsThe LRRop gene family was investigated in strawberry. 140 FaLRRop gene family members were identified in the strawberry genome, and 121 orthologous gene pairs with F. vesca and 117 with F. iinumae. C. siamense infection and exogenous MeJA pretreatment inhibited the expression of FaLRRop26 and its alleles, while SA pretreatment upregulated their expressions. The FaLRRop26 and its alleles mutations of octoploid strawberry were achieved by utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. Mutants exhibited significantly larger lesions compared to wild-type. Compared with wild-type, the key structural genes for lignin monomer synthesis, including 4-coumarate: CoA ligase, caffeic acid-O-methyltransferase, ferulate-5-hydroxylase, cinnamoyl-CoA reductase and cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase of mutants were significantly inhibited. Furthermore, mutants had 17% lower lignin content than wild-type on 0 days post-inoculation (0 dpi). On 4 dpi, wild-type accumulated approximately 87% lignin, whereas mutants maintained only about 30%.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that FaLRRop26 and its alleles enhanced strawberry resistance for C. siamense by positive regulating lignin biosynthesis, and which provides new insights into the role of LRRop gene family in strawberry immunity and offers a potential target for strawberry resistance breeding.
