Spatial and Temporal Expression of Actin Depolymerizing Factors ADF7 and ADF10 during Male Gametophyte Development in Arabidopsis thaliana
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The actin cytoskeleton plays a crucial role in many aspects of plant cell development. During male gametophyte development, the actin arrays are conspicuously remodeled both during pollen maturation in the anther and after pollen hydration on the receptive stigma and pollen tube elongation. Remodeling of actin arrays results from the highly orchestrated activities of numerous actin binding proteins (ABPs). A key player in actin remodeling is the actin depolymerizing factor (ADF), which increases actin filament treadmilling rates. We prepared fluorescent protein fusions of two Arabidopsis pollen-specific ADFs, ADF7 and ADF10. We monitored the expression and subcellular localization of these proteins during male gametophyte development, pollen germination and pollen tube growth. ADF7 and ADF10 were differentially expressed with the ADF7 signal appearing in the microspore stage and that of ADF10 only during the polarized microspore stage. ADF7 was associated with the microspore nucleus and the vegetative nucleus of the mature grain during less metabolically active stages, but in germinating pollen grains and elongating pollen tubes, it was associated with the subapical actin fringe. On the other hand, ADF10 was associated with filamentous actin in the developing gametophyte, in particular with the arrays surrounding the apertures of the mature pollen grain. In the shank of elongating pollen tubes, ADF10 was associated with thick actin cables. We propose possible specific functions of these two ADFs based on their differences in expression and localization.

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.
