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

Sustaining wheat yield gains requires optimizing the spatiotemporal coordination of source (leaves), transport (stems), and sink (spikes) organs. However, the physiological mechanisms and underlying genetic networks orchestrating the dynamic development of these critical structures remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we leveraged high-resolution time-series phenotyping across 590 wheat accessions evaluated across three year-site environments (comprising two locations and two growing seasons) to dissect the genetic architecture of these biomass partitioning trajectories. To fully capture this spatiotemporal regulation, our analysis explicitly integrated both the temporal tracking across five floret developmental stages (Z39-Z65) and the spatial partitioning among these organ-specific dynamic systems. We identified 36 multi-stage stable dynamic quantitative trait loci (QTL) regulating five source-sink-related traits. By constructing genetic association and epistatic interaction networks, we prioritized two pivotal dynamic QTL, namely Qa.nw-7B.848 and Qa.nw-1D.96. Multi-omics integration pinpointed TraesCS7B03G1340600 as a key candidate gene for Qa.nw-7B.848. Furthermore, haplotype analysis uncovered distinct selection footprints, demonstrating how specific allelic combinations have been differentially selected to optimize yield components across diverse geographical environments. Collectively, this study moves beyond static trait analysis, offering a dynamic genetic framework and specific epistatic targets to precision-design wheat architecture for enhanced productivity.
