Leaf morpho-anatomical variations in <i>Billbergia elegans</i> and <i>Neoregelia mucugensis</i> (Bromeliaceae) exposed to low and high solar radiation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The morpho-anatomical leaf structure may be directly affected by variations in the environmental conditions to which plants are exposed during development. The “campos rupestres” vegetation (rocky fields) is subjected to several stress conditions and microclimatic variations that result in important adaptations that enable the survival in these environments. In this study, we analyzed the leaf morpho-anatomy of two bromeliads, Billbergia elegans Martius ex Schultes f. and Neoregelia mucugensis Leme, occurring in the rock fields of Itacolomi State Park, southeastern Brazil, and tested for morpho-anatomical variations in response to light conditions. The analysis followed usual techniques in plant anatomy. Both species exhibited variations in the shape of the rosette, leaf color, and size of leaf sheath and blade. Scale density was higher on both leaf surfaces of individuals exposed to high solar radiation. Thickness of the leaf blade, water-storage parenchyma, chlorenchyma, and stomatal density were higher in individuals exposed to low solar radiation, which disagrees with most previous studies and may be related to the environment where these species occur, where water availability is one of the main limiting factors. Our observations point out a need for studies on herb species from xeric environments, which may bring new information on adaptations to these environments.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
