Abstract
Blue grama ( Bouteloua gracilis H.B.K. Lag. ex Steud.) is one of the most widespread native grasses in western North America. Little is known about the genetic diversity of this species and the genetic shift in selected populations. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to assess the genetic variations of blue grama plants in 11 natural source populations (SPs) in southern Manitoba and two selected populations. Population ‘BMSC’ was a balanced multisite composite of 99 clones selected for higher seed yield from the 11 SPs. Population ‘MSC’ was a mass‐selected composite of 25 clones with higher seed yield from eight SPs. Twelve RAPD primers were used to assay 108 original propagules from the 11 SPs and 96 seedlings from each selected population. A total of 69 polymorphic RAPD bands were detected. No unique RAPD bands were found for any SPs and 97.8% of the total RAPD variation was detected within SPs. Variation in RAPD markers was not associated with geographical distances. Highly significant changes in RAPD band frequency from their SPs were detected in both selected populations, but only MSC displayed the fixation of polymorphic bands. The estimated genetic shifts were small, 0.6% for BMSC and 1.9% for MSC.

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
