Metabolic Changes in Roots of the Oilseed Canola Infected with the Biotroph Plasmodiophora brassicae: Phytoalexins and Phytoanticipins
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Analyses of metabolite production and accumulation in roots of canola ( Brassica napus L. spp. oleifera) infected with the phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae (clubroot) allowed the identification of 45 metabolites. HPLC analysis corroborated by metabolite isolation and NMR spectroscopic data demonstrated for the first time that phytoalexins and phytoanticipins were produced in roots of canola infected with a soilborne biotroph. In addition, six new indolyl metabolites were identified, synthesized, and tested against three fungal pathogens of canola. Multivariate data analysis using principal component analysis (PCA) revealed distinct metabolic responses of canola to P. brassicae infection during a six-week period. At late harvest days (five and six weeks), a clear clustering was observed among samples of infected roots because of the higher concentration of phytoalexins, while higher concentration of phytoanticipins contributed to the differentiation between three and four weeks samples of infected and control roots. Altogether, the data shows that canola roots under biotrophic attack are able to produce a complex blend of phytoalexins and other antimicrobial metabolites as a defensive response and that the metabolic regulation of phytoanticipins and phytoalexins appeared to correlate with the infection period.

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.
