Anthocyanin accumulation in the hypocotyl of an ABA‐over producing male‐sterile tomato (<i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i>) mutant
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Anthocyanin accumulation is known to be regulated by light and plant hormones but its occurrence varies with plant species and/or organ and tissue, and it has been negatively correlated with male sterility. In this study, we have examined the light responsive changes in anthocyanin in an abscisic acid (ABA) over‐producer, male‐sterile 7B‐1 mutant and wild‐type (WT) tomato hypocotyls. The results show that light‐induced anthocyanin accumulation in the hypocotyl was more in WT compared with the 7B‐1 mutant and more so under white light (W) compared with blue light (B) or red light (R). In contrast, the chlorophyll content was greater in the mutant than in WT. Exogenous ABA caused a transitory increase in anthocyanin content in WT but a reduction in 7B‐1 , both in W and B. The high level of anthocyanin in WT under light conditions was not correlated with increased mRNA levels of phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS) and dihydroflavonol 4‐reductase (DFR), some of the anthocyanin biosynthetic genes. However, the activity of PAL (EC 4.3.1.5) was higher in the WT than in 7B‐1 hypocotyls, and exogenous ABA caused an increase in PAL activity in the WT but a reduction in the mutant. The results presented show that high ABA negatively affects anthocyanin accumulation and that in the 7B‐1 mutant it is related, in part, to reduced PAL activity. The results also support the view that the 7B‐1 mutant has a defect in light perception and ABA sensitivity.

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.
