Abstract
The mechanisms underlying bast fibre differentiation in hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) are largely unknown. We hybridised a cDNA microarray with RNA from fibre enriched tissues extracted at three different positions along the stem axis. Accordingly, we identified transcripts that were enriched in tissues in which phloem fibres were elongating or undergoing secondary wall thickening. These results were consistent with a dynamic pattern of cell wall deposition involving tissue specific expression of a large set of distinct glycosyltransferases and glycosylhydrolases apparently acting on polymers containing galactans, mannans, xylans, and glucans, as well as raffinose-series disaccharides. Putative arabinogalactan proteins and lipid transfer proteins were among the most highly enriched transcripts in various stem segments, with different complements of each expressed at each stage of development. We also detected stage-specific expression of brassinosteroid-related transcripts, various transporters, polyamine and phenylpropanoid related genes, and seven putative transcription factors. Finally, we observed enrichment of many transcripts with unknown biochemical function, some of which had been previously implicated in fibre development in poplar or cotton. Together these data complement and extend existing biochemical models of bast fibre development and secondary wall deposition and highlight uncharacterised, but conserved, components of these processes.

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 it
