Effects of seed vernalisation and photoperiod on flowering induction in the halophyte Thellungiella halophila
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Salt cress, Thellungiella halophila, is a late-flowering, halophytic plant that requires a prolonged period of vernalisation to flower. This poorly defined vernalisation requirement restricts the use of T. halophila as a model plant for the study of salt-stress tolerance. To facilitate research on T. halophila, the present study quantified the effects of seed vernalisation and photoperiod on its flowering. Imbibed seeds of T. halophila responded to a cold treatment (4°C), and flowering was optimal after 30 days of seed vernalisation. A longer vernalisation period shortened the time until the first flower appeared, increased the number of flowers and reduced expression of ThFLC (a repressor of flowering). Plants growing from seed that had been vernalised for 30 days did not flower when daylength was <9 h, and daylengths >9 h promoted flowering. Therefore, like for many plants in this clade of the Brassicaceae, vernalisation requirement and long-day response are features of T. halophila. These results will facilitate the use T. halophila as a model plant for the study of abiotic stress.

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.
