Genetic transformation, electrophoretic karyotyping and isolation of insertional mutants in the tree pathogenic fungus <i>Neonectria galligena</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Summary The ascomycete tree pathogen Neonectria galligena was transformed using several plasmid vectors containing the bacterial hygromycin phosphotransferase gene (hph) conferring resistance to hygromycin B. Protoplasts were produced by digesting germinating conidia in a Novozym 234 solution osmotically stabilized with NaCl. The protoplasts regenerated at ca. 70% on complete medium supplemented with either sucrose or NaCl. Up to 115 hygromycin B‐resistant transformants per microgram of transforming DNA per 108 protoplasts were obtained. Southern analysis of genomic DNA from the transformants, separated by either standard agarose gel electrophoresis or by pulsed field gel electrophoresis, confirmed that hygromycin B resistance resulted from integration of the vector. Transformants expressing the green fluorescent protein were also obtained. A total of 209 transformants were then screened for aggressiveness and mycelial radial growth. Four mutants were identified including one mutant with reduced aggressiveness but normal growth in vitro, two mutants with reduced growth in vitro but normal aggressiveness, and one mutant in which both aggressiveness and in vitro growth were reduced.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
