Genome-wide analysis of HSP70 family in Zygophyllum xanthoxylum and its heat stress response in Arabidopsis.
Article in Plant cell reports, 2026. 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
key messageZygophyllum xanthoxylum possesses a distinct HSP70 clade, within which selected members show strong heat-induced expression and enhance thermotolerance in Arabidopsis. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family members are highly conserved molecular chaperones that play important roles in maintaining cellular proteostasis under heat stress. Although the HSP70 family has been widely studied in model plants and crops, it remains unexplored in Zygophyllum xanthoxylum, a typical xerophyte with remarkable thermotolerance. Here, we systematically identified 25 ZxHSP70 genes distributed across nine chromosomes of Z. xanthoxylum, and comprehensively analyzed their classification, phylogeny, duplication events, gene structures and cis-regulatory elements. The genome-wide comparative analyses of HSP70 families in 17 representative species, ranging from algae to mesophytes and drought-adapted species, revealed an overall expansion of the HSP70 family during the evolutionary transition from aquatic plants to terrestrial plants. In Z. xanthoxylum, the expansion of the ZxHSP70 family was primarily driven by whole-genome duplication, with strong purifying selection acting to maintain its functional integrity. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 332 HSP70 protein sequences from these species clustered into six distinct clades, among which Clade VI was composed exclusively of HSP70 members from the xerophytes Z. xanthoxylum and Tetraena mongolica. Transcriptome profiles and RT-qPCR analyses further showed that several Clade VI members in Z. xanthoxylum, including ZxHSP70-3/5/8, were significantly upregulated under high temperature conditions. Functional analyses further demonstrated that overexpression of ZxHSP70-3/5/8 enhanced thermotolerance in Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Arabidopsis thaliana. Together, these findings lay a foundation for further elucidating the regulation mechanisms of HSP70s in xerophytes and provide valuable genetic resources for enhancing crop thermotolerance.
