Differential responses to Na<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup> and Ca<sup>2+</sup>/Mg<sup>2+</sup> in two edaphic races of the <i>Lasthenia californica</i> (Asteraceae) complex: A case for parallel evolution of physiological traits
Bibliographic record
Abstract
• Sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium ion uptake physiology and tolerance to sodium and magnesium were characterized in two edaphic races (A and C) of two closely related species in the Lasthenia californica complex. • Uptake rates of race A plants were 20-fold higher for Na + , and 2-fold higher for Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ than those of race C plants. Race A translocated c. 50% of absorbed Na + to the shoot compared with < 30% in race C. For Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ corresponding values for the two races were > 95% and ≤ 50%, respectively. • Germination, root growth and survivorship estimates indicated greater tolerance by race A to Na + and Mg 2+ . Significant genotype treatment interactions were observed, suggesting that these races are genetically differentiated in their tolerance responses. • The study suggests parallel evolution of physiological traits in populations belonging to the two species and points to intriguing correlations between the presence of sulfated flavonoids and the capacities for the uptake of and tolerance to specific ions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
