Morphological characteristics of crested wheatgrass populations of diverse origin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In crested wheatgrass, the species Agropyron cristatum includes populations that are diploid and tetraploid, either naturally or artificially induced. The species Agropyron desertorum is tetraploid and there are culitvars that are hybrids between A. cristatum and A. desertorum. The goal of this study was to compare the morphology (height, crown width, tiller density, tiller weight and tiller angle) of populations from the two species and hybrids, including S9240, a recently developed colchicine induced tetraploid A. cristatum. Data were collected in 1999 and 2000 from several different sward-seeded and spaced-planted trials. The four tetraploid crested wheatgrasses (A. cristatum “Kirk” and “S9240”, A. desertorum “Nordan”, and A. desertorum × A. cristatum “CD-II”) were significantly (P < 0.05) taller, narrower in row width, and produced fewer, heavier tillers than the diploid A. cristatum “Parkway”. Among the tetraploid populations, S9240 was significantly (P < 0.05) taller and produced fewer tillers. S9240 also produced significantly (P < 0.05) heavier tillers than CD-II and Nordan, and also than Kirk, one year of two. Row widths were variable among populations, but S9240 generally produced a narrower crown than other populations. Key words: Crested wheatgrass, polyploidy, plant height, crown diameter, tiller characteristics

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.
