Ascorbic acid metabolism during white spruce somatic embryo maturation and germination
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Changes in ascorbic acid (AA) metabolism were investigated in 3 different cell lines of white spruce; a non‐embryogenic line (NE)WS and two embryogenic lines with low (E)WS1 and high (E)WS2 percentage of embryo germination. During embryo maturation, a high AA/dehydroascorbate (DHA) ratio was observed in the two embryogenic cultures. The increment of this ratio was mainly ascribed to the high ability of the (E)WS1 and (E)WS2 lines to generate AA from its last precursor, l‐galactono‐γ‐lactone, since no increase in the activities of the AA‐recycling enzymes, i.e., AA free‐radical reductase (AFRR) and DHA reductase (DHAR), was observed as the embryos developed. During the partial drying treatment needed for successful embryo germination, the ability to de novo generate AA continued to increase in the embryos of the two embryogenic lines, although the total ascorbate pool (AA+DHA) sharply decreased. A reactivation of the overall AA metabolism was observed at the inception of germination, especially in the (E)WS2 embryos. These results suggest that (1) the ability to metabolically alter the AA/DHA ratio may be a fundamental requirement for somatic embryo maturation and (2) the restoration of the AA metabolism during the first days of germination may be necessary for successful embryo germination.

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.
