Adenylate-Coupled Ion Movement. A Mechanism for the Control of Nodule Permeability to O2 Diffusion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In response to changes in phloem supply, adenylate demand, and oxygen status, legume nodules are known to exercise rapid (seconds to hours) physiological control over their permeability to oxygen diffusion. Diffusion models have attributed this permeability control to the reversible flow of water into or out of intercellular spaces. To test hypotheses on the mechanism of diffusion barrier control, nodulated soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) plants were exposed to a range of treatments known to alter nodule O2 permeability (i.e. 10% O2, 30% O2, Ar:O2 exposure, and stem girdling) before the nodules were rapidly frozen, freeze dried, and dissected into cortex and central zone (CZ) fractions that were assayed for K, Mg, and Ca ion concentrations. Treatments known to decrease nodule permeability (30% O2, Ar:O2 exposure, and stem girdling) were consistently associated with an increase in the ratio of [K+] in cortex to [K+] in the CZ tissue, whereas the 10% O2 treatment, known to increase nodule permeability, was associated with a decrease in the [K+]cortex:[K+](CZ). When these findings were considered in the light of previous results, a proposed mechanism was developed for the adenylate-coupled movement of ions and water into and out of infected cells as a possible mechanism for diffusion barrier control in legume nodules.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
