Morphophysiological dormancy in seeds of six endemic lobelioid shrubs (Campanulaceae) from the montane zone in Hawaii
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate seed dormancy breaking and germination requirements of six woody Hawaiian endemic lobelioids (Campanulaceae). Seeds of all species had underdeveloped, physiologically dormant embryos and thus morphophysiological dormancy. Fresh seeds of Clermontia pyrularia Hillebr. and Trematolobelia macrostachys (Hook. & Arnott) A. Zahlbr. did not germinate during 4 weeks of incubation in light at 15/6, 20/10, or 25/15 °C, whereas those of Clermontia fauriei H. Lev., Clermontia hawaiiensis (Hillebr.) Rock, Clermontia kakeana Meyen, and Cyanea angustifolia (Cham.) Hillebr. germinated to 61%–85% but only at 25/15 °C. Since seeds of the latter four species eventually germinated to 84%–100% when incubated for 12–36 weeks at the three temperature regimes, fresh seeds had conditional dormancy; the physiological component of morphophysiological dormancy was nondeep. Seeds of Trematolobelia macrostachys also came out of dormancy (and germinated to 90%) during 18 weeks of incubation at each of the three temperatures regimes, whereas those of Clermontia pyrularia did so only at 15/6 °C. Simulated seasonal temperature variations did not promote dormancy break and germination in any species except Clermontia pyrularia , in which a 12-week incubation period at 25/15 °C resulted in 90% germination after seeds were moved to 20/10 °C. Seeds of all species had an absolute light requirement for germination except those of Clermontia pyrularia, which germinated to 48% in darkness. Since seeds of the six species only require high temperatures for embryo growth and the breaking of physiological dormancy, they have nondeep simple morphophysiological dormancy.

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.
