Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Internalization of fluorescently labeled CPPs, pVEC, transportan and scrambled pVEC, in a range of plant cells was investigated. Cellular uptake of the peptides was found to be tissue dependent. pVEC and transportan were distinctly internalized in triticale mesophyll protoplasts, onion epidermal cells, leaf bases and root tips of seven-day old triticale seedlings but showed negligible florescence in coleoptile and leaf tips as observed under a fluorescence microscope. Further, pVEC and transportan uptake studies were focused on mesophyll protoplasts as a system of investigation. In fluorimetric studies transportan showed 2.3 times higher cellular internalization than pVEC in protoplasts, whereas scrambled pVEC failed to show any significant fluorescence. Effect of various factors on cellular internalization of pVEC and transportan in protoplasts was also investigated. The cellular uptake of both the peptides was concentration dependent and nonsaturable. The cellular uptake of pVEC and transportan was enhanced at low temperature (4 degrees C). The presence of endocytic/macropinocytosis inhibitors did not reduce the cellular uptake of the peptides, suggesting direct cell penetration, receptor-independent internalization of pVEC and transportan into the plant cells.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
