Calcium inhibition halts developmental programmed cell death in the lace plant, <i>Aponogeton madagascariensis</i>?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study examined the effect of the calcium channel blocker ruthenium red (RR) on developmental programmed cell death (PCD) and perforation formation in leaves of the aquatic lace plant ( Aponogeton madagascariensis (Mirbel) H. Bruggen). Plant immersion experiments were conducted using various concentrations (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 µmol·L –1 ) of RR applied to whole plants over a 3 to 4 week period. The ratio of number of leaf perforations per centimetre of leaf length along with leaf length were used to assess treatment effect. While the ratio of number of perforations per centimetre of leaf length was significantly reduced with RR treatment, leaf length was not, overall, significantly affected by RR. Therefore, it was concluded that RR was able to inhibit calcium movement and halt PCD, thus reducing perforation formation without having detrimental effects on leaf growth. The present research provides indirect evidence of the possible role of calcium in developmental PCD in vivo during leaf morphogenesis in the lace plant. Furthermore, it suggests the usefulness of the lace plant as a model system for pharmacological studies involving developmental PCD.

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.
