Water movement between epidermal cells of barley leaves – a symplastic connection?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Using the cell‐pressure probe the possibility of symplastic water flow between cells of the upper epidermis of barley leaves was investigated. Cells analysed had either an intact or a more or less damaged cellular environment. Cell damage caused large pressure differentials (0·9 MPa) between damaged and adjacent intact cells. Turgor in cells adjacent to damaged cells decreased significantly. Turgor decreases were the larger the more the adjacent, damaged cell was leaking (decreases by 2·5–4·4%). In cells surrounded by a patch of leaking cells, turgor decreased the most, by 18·1–20·4%. In contrast, half‐times of water exchange (T1/2) of cells were not affected by a damaged cellular environment. Assuming that in the barley leaf epidermis, plasmodesmata close at pressure‐differentials at or exceeding 0·2 MPa as shown for other plant cells (The Plant Journal 2, 741–750; Canadian Journal of Botany 65, 509–511), it is concluded that symplastic water flow contributes insignificantly to water exchange between cells. Mechanical damage to one individual cell is enough to induce significant turgor changes in neighbouring cells.

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.
