Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract There are over 400 thousand plant species on earth. Tens of thousands of these are used directly for food, medicine, construction materials, industrial products, and ornament. Some of the world's major crops have become unprofitable, and there is a need for new crops to meet the growing needs of the 21st century. New crops can be plants not used previously, new varieties of familiar crops, well known crops used for a new purpose, and crops cultivated in a new area, grown with new techniques or sold in new markets. There is excellent potential to utilize thousands of plants that are not yet well known. Promising new crops include all kinds of plants originating from all over the world. Examples are provided of recent new crops in eight major categories, including food, forage, medicine, wood & fibre, industrial purposes, fuel & energy, ornament, and environmental benefits. Because it is impossible to predict exactly which plants will be invaluable in the future, it is critical to maintain as many of the world's species and as much of their genetic diversity as possible. Measures should include largescale protection of natural landscapes. New crops will be important in the future to efficiently feed a growing population, to maintain human health, to meet economic demands, and to promote the protection of biodiversity & environment.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
