Abstract
Studies were carried out on the structure of the stigma and style of Cynara cardunculus L. (cardoon) during flower development. The stigma is of the dry type with a papillate cuticularized epidermis. During development, the unicellular papillae become match-stick shaped, cuticularize, and show an increase in vacuolar volume. In mature papillae, two morphologically different vacuoles were observed, one electron-dense and the other electron-transparent, putatively corresponding to distinct vacuolar populations. These vacuoles label differently for cardosin A, specifically detected in the electron-dense compartments. The style is solid with a cuticularized epidermis and a central core of transmitting tissue (TT) several cell layers thick. The TT cells show abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies, associated with active secretion. During maturation, TT cells become increasingly separated by a polysaccharide-rich extracellular matrix. Communication between TT cells is maintained via plasmodesmata in longitudinal walls. Distribution of cardosins A and B in developing C. cardunculus flowers was also characterized. The presence of aspartic proteinases (APs) in flowers is unusual, generally occurring at low levels. Cardosins A and B are always present in cardoon florets and localize at distinct pistil levels: stigma (papillae) and style (TT), respectively. This differential localization suggests distinct biological functions for cardosins, most likely essential for reproduction in this species.

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
