An analysis of selection on candidate genes for regulation, mobilization, uptake, and transport of iron in maize
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Insufficient iron (Fe) availability, which frequently occurs in soils with high pH levels, can lead to leaf chlorosis, a reduced Fe content in harvest products, and yield reduction in maize. The objectives of this study were (i) to describe patterns of sequence variation of 14 candidate genes for mobilization, uptake, and transport of Fe in maize, as well as regulatory function on these processes; (ii) to examine whether Fe-efficiency is an adaptive trait by determining if these genes were targets of selection during domestication; and (iii) to test if the allele distribution at these candidate genes is different for the different subpopulations of maize. The nucleotide diversity of Mtk was reduced by 78% in maize compared with teosinte. The results of our study revealed for the genes Naat1, Nas1, Nramp3, Mtk, and Ys1 a selective sweep, which suggests that these genes might be important for the fast adaptation of maize to new environments with different Fe availabilities.

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.
