Extensive tubular vacuole system in an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, <i>Gigaspora margarita</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
• A tubular vacuolar system is reported here for the first time in living hyphae of Gigaspora margarita, an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, during various phases in the development of a symbiotic relationship with onion (Allium cepa) seedlings. • Germ tubes, extraradical hyphae and intercellular hyphae were labeled with Oregon Green 488 carboxylic acid diacetate and observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Emphasis was placed on the relationship between the shape of vacuoles and the presence of cytoplasmic streaming. • In germ tubes, labeled vacuoles showed a variety of profiles, including spherical and tubular (< 0.5 µm diameter), with various compositions of these shapes along the length of the germ tubes. The tubular vacuoles rarely interconnected with spherical vacuoles and often formed longitudinally oriented, elongated bundles. The tubular vacuolar system appeared to be associated with cytoplasmic streaming, whereas spherical vacuoles were not. Tubular vacuoles were observed in all regions of the germ tubes and were also observed in both extraradical and intercellular hyphae. • The results question the hypothesis that discrete vacuoles may be involved in the translocation of polyphosphate along hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
