Heat‐stress effects on reproduction and seed set in <i>Linum usitatissimum</i> L. (flax)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Heat stress can detrimentally affect the reproductive capacity of many plants. The effect of a 7 or 14 d heat stress on flowering, seed set, pollen viability and germinability of flax (Linum usistatissimum L.) was assessed under growth chamber conditions. An incremental (2 °C/h), cyclical (daytime high 40 °C and night‐time low 18 °C) heat stress was applied 12 d after the initiation of flowering. Although flower formation in flax was not affected by heat stress, boll formation and seed set were reduced with onset of the heat stress. On removal of heat stress the stressed plants showed a compensatory response, flowering and producing bolls at a greater rate than the control plants. Heat stress significantly prolonged flowering by 17 d. Boll weight and seed weight were reduced with heat stress and the number of malformed, sterile seed increased three‐fold after 14 d of heat stress. Pollen viability and appearance were negatively affected after 6 and 10 d of heat stress, respectively. Pollen germinability decreased by the sixth day of heat stress, with no pollen germinating by the tenth day. Effects of heat stress on pollen viability and germinability alone, which did not occur until after the sixth day of the stress, could not account for the decreased boll formation due to heat stress in flax. These observations suggest that a combined effect of heat stress on both pollen and ovules contributes to decreased boll formation and seed set in flax.

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.
