Evaluation and association analysis of quality traits in Chinese winter wheat landraces on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
backgroundWheat grain quality is a complex traits governed by both genetic and environmental factors. Chinese winter wheat landraces on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau harbor valuable genetic diversity, yet the loci underlying their grain quality remain largely unexplored. This study aimed to identify stable SNP loci, favorable haplotypes, and candidate genes for grain quality traits.
methodsEight quality traits-moisture content (MC), flour water absorption (WA), grain protein content (GPC), wet gluten content (WGC), dough stability time (ST), dough development time (FT), grain hardness (HD), and test weight (TW)-were assessed in 279 winter wheat landraces across four environments on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using a 120 K SNP array.
resultsAll eight traits showed wide phenotypic variation. In total, 62 stable SNP loci were detected across environments (P < 0.001), explaining 3.86%-15.64% of the phenotypic variance; 19 of these showed pleiotropic effects. A pleiotropic locus on chromosome 1B (1B:610760001) was significantly associated with WA, GPC, ST and FT in all four environments. Haplotype analysis of a 488 kb linkage disequilibrium (LD) block identified four haplotypes (Hap1-Hap4). Hap2 and Hap3 had significantly higher WA than Hap1, and Hap2 had significantly higher GPC and longer ST than Hap1 and Hap4 (P < 0.05); FT was significantly longer in Hap2 than in Hap1 and Hap4. Ten candidate genes were predicted, annotated with functions involving signal transduction, metabolic regulation, cell development and stress response.
conclusionsThis study identified 62 stable SNP loci, 19 pleiotropic loci, and two favorable haplotypes (Hap2 and Hap3) relevant to wheat quality improvement. These findings highlight the breeding potential of Chinese winter wheat landraces on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and provide targets for marker-assisted selection.
