Milk Thistle,<i>Silybum marianum</i>(L.) Gaertn., Flower Head Development and Associated Marker Compound Profile
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Flower head development and marker compound changes were examined for milk thistle grown under dryland conditions during the 1998 and 1999 growing seasons. Flower heads harvested at the early flowering, mid-flowering, late flowering, and dehiscing (seed development) growth stages had average seed/ovule weights of 5 mg, 13 mg, 21 mg, and 26 mg, respectively. At the time of harvest, the plants contained flower heads at all stages of development. During the 1999 harvest, the average plant produced 2.0 g, 2.9 g, and 3.4 g of dry seeds per flower head, corresponding to mid-flowering, late flowering, and dehiscing development stages of the flower. The silymarin and fixed-oil content for the 1999 seeds were 1 mg, 14 mg, and 24 mg of silymarin and 15 mg, 168 mg, and 252 mg of lipid/g dry weight for mid-flowering, late flowering, and dehiscing development stages, respectively. The highest silymarin yield was obtained from late flowering and dehiscing flower heads in early September of both test years.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
