Abstract
ABSTRACT Multilocus haplotypes (MLHs) were derived for the spermogonial (monokaryotic haploid) stage of Cronartium ribicola, the causal agent of white pine blister rust. Six random amplified polymorphic DNA loci and three single-strand conformational polymorphism markers were analyzed for 246 rust samples collected from two heavily infected white pine plantations. All cankers sampled were spatially located within the plantations. The hypothesis that spores are not locally disseminated was supported by the absence of any spatial clustering in the distribution of the MLHs. A large number of MLHs was found at both sites and the haplotypic diversity was close to the maximum (one) in both populations. All measures of recombination were not different from expectations under a scenario of sexual recombination. Genetic differentiation between the two sites was very low (theta = 0.023), yet it was significantly different from zero (P < 0.01). This analysis is in agreement with a scenario of extensive sexual recombination followed by some long-distance dispersal.

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 it
