Abstract
After transient exposure to the gaseous hormone ethylene, dark-grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus) hypocotyls developed unusual features. Upon ethylene's removal, the developing epidermis showed significant increases in cell division rates, producing an abundance of guard cells and trichomes. These responses to ethylene depended on the stage of development at the time of ethylene exposure. In the upper region of the hypocotyl, where cells were least differentiated at the onset of ethylene treatment, complex, multicellular protuberances formed. Further down the hypocotyl, where stomata and trichomes were beginning to develop at the onset of ethylene exposure, an increase in the number of stomata and trichomes was observed. Stomatal complexes developing after the ethylene treatment had a significant increase in the number of stomatal subsidiary cells and the number of cells per trichome increased. Analysis of division patterns in stomatal complexes indicated that exposure to ethylene either suspended or altered cell fate. Ethylene also altered cell division polarity, resulting in aberrant stomatal complexes and branched trichomes. To our knowledge, the results of this study demonstrate for the first time that transient treatment with physiological concentrations of ethylene can alter cell fate and increase the propensity of cells to divide.

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
