A bacterial artificial chromosome library for ‘Jefferson’ hazelnut and identification of clones associated with eastern filbert blight resistance and pollen–stigma incompatibility
Bibliographic record
Abstract
European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is the only economically important nut crop in the family Betulaceae. Because of its small genome size (~385 Mb / 1C), relatively short life cycle, availability of a dense linkage map, and amenability to transformation by Agrobacterium, the European hazelnut could serve as a model plant for the Betulaceae. Here we report the construction of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for 'Jefferson' hazelnut using the cloning enzyme MboI and the vector pECBAC1 (BamHI site). The library consists of 39,936 clones arrayed in 104,384-well microtitre plates with a mean insert size of 117 kb. The genomic coverage of the library is estimated to be about 12 genome equivalents. This library provides a valuable resource for the map-based cloning of two important genes, the resistance gene from 'Gasaway' that confers resistance to eastern filbert blight caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller and the S locus that controls pollen-stigma incompatibility. Fine-resolution mapping near the two loci was carried out using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Fine mapping at the disease resistance locus showed that markers W07-375 and X01-825 flanked the resistance locus at distances of 0.06 and 0.05 cM, respectively. The S locus is flanked by markers 204-950 and KG819-200 at distances of 0.14 and 0.24 cM, respectively. Assuming that 1 cM corresponds to a physical distance of 430 kb, it will take approximately two to three chromosome walks to assemble BAC contigs that span both loci.

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.
