A new meiotic abnormality in<i>Zea mays</i>: multiple spindles associated with abnormal cytokinesis in both divisions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: We report here a new meiotic abnormality recorded in one plant of an inbred line of Zea mays. After an apparently normal prophase I, chromosomes did not congregate in a single metaphase plate. Bivalents remained scattered in the cytoplasm, giving rise to several spindles. Despite the occurrence of multiple spindles, meiosis I proceeded normally, forming a varied number of nuclei at telophase I. The presence of one or a few chromosomes in the nucleus was enough to induce local cytokinesis, which was evident from metaphase I. Each cell resulting from meiosis I expressed its own program and progressed through the cell cycle. Therefore, failure of chromosome congregation on a single plate also occurred at meiosis II, where further irregular cytokinesis was observed. As a consequence of the two abnormalities, polyads occurred, resulting in pollen grains of different sizes and in sterility at a frequency of up to 93.5%.

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.
