Time-delayed activator-repressor regulation of ginsenoside biosynthesis in Gynostemma pentaphyllum.
Article in The New phytologist, 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
Jasmonic acid (JA) signaling is a key regulator of plant secondary metabolism, yet how it balances rapid activation with timely repression of ginsenoside biosynthesis remains unclear in Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Here, we investigated the transcriptional regulation mechanism of ginsenoside biosynthesis by JA-responsive basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors. By integrating transcriptome and phylogenetic analyses with yeast one-hybrid, electrophoretic mobility shift assays, dual-luciferase assays, transgenic hairy root overexpression, and RNA interference, together with metabolite profiling, we identified key regulators and defined their roles in the ginsenoside biosynthesis pathway of G. pentaphyllum. We characterized an antagonistic bHLH pair, GpGAB (g36559, Activator), and GpGIB (g21771, Inhibitor). GpGAB activated ginsenoside biosynthetic genes GpDS, GpPPDS, and GpUGT94AT1, whereas GpGIB repressed the expression of GpDS and GpPPDS. GpGAB also upregulated the expression of GpGIB, with GpGAB responding earlier than GpGIB to JA treatment. Taken together, our results support a model in which GpGAB and GpGIB form a time-delayed negative feedback loop that fine-tunes ginsenoside biosynthesis after JA induction, providing a mechanistic framework for dynamic transcriptional regulation of ginsenoside in G. pentaphyllum.
