Identification of a sex-specific SCAR marker in dioecious <i>Pandanus fascicularis</i> L. (Pandanaceae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pandanus fascicularis L. is a dioecious plant native to South Asia with significant numbers in coastal areas. With the aim of distinguishing male genotypes from female genotypes early in the vegetative growth phase, the current study was initiated using molecular markers. Based on the principle of bulked segregant analysis, the sampled plants were separated into 2 bulks depending on their sex. Of the 89 random amplified polymorphic DNA and inter-simple sequence repeat markers used, one decamer (OPO-08) consistently amplified a 1263 bp band in the males that was absent in the females. Its DNA sequence did not exhibit significant similarity to previously characterized sequences, but the presence of mononucleotide and dinucleotide repeats suggested that it was a repeat-rich region. A sequence-characterized amplified region marker (MSSRF-01) designed for this fragment continued to amplify the specific allele in all the male plants. Southern hybridization performed using the sex-specific fragment as a probe yielded results consistent with those previously obtained by polymerase chain reaction. These results strongly suggest that MSSRF-01 is a male-specific molecular marker. With no information available on the presence of sex chromosomes in Pandanus, this marker can be used to differentiate the sexes.

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.
