Abstract
ABSTRACT Polypeptide synthesis and accumulation were examined in the roots of tomato seedlings exposed to a polyethylene glycol‐imposed water deficit stress. In these roots, the synthesis of a number of polypeptides was induced, while that of several others was enhanced or repressed. To examine the role played by abscisic acid (ABA) in co‐ordinating the accumulation of these proteins, water‐deficit‐stress‐responsive polypeptide synthesis was investigated in the roots of the ABA‐deficient mutant flacca. In the roots of this mutant, the ability to accumulate a complete set of water‐deficit‐stress‐responsive polypeptides was impaired, indicating that ABA is required for their synthesis. The role of ABA was further examined by exposing the roots of both genotypes to exogenous ABA, which, with one exception, elicited the accumulation of all water‐deficit‐stress‐responsive proteins. Polyethylene glycol‐induced polypeptide accumulation was accompanied by a 1·6‐fold increase in the level of endogenous ABA in the roots of wild‐type plants and a 5‐fold increase in the roots of flc . Thus, although the absolute level was lower than that of the wild‐type, flc has the capacity to accumulate ABA in its roots. When fluridone was used to prevent the biosynthesis of ABA, the accumulation of several water‐deficit‐stress‐responsive polypeptides was reduced further. The synthesis of polypeptides was also examined in the roots of salt‐treated seedlings. Salt altered the accumulation of several polypeptides, all of which were previously observed in water‐deficit‐stressed roots, indicating that their synthesis was the result of the osmotic component of the salt stress. However, the accumulation of these polypeptides was not impaired in flc roots, indicating that the role played by ABA in regulating their accumulation in salt‐and polyethylene glycol‐treated roots differs. As such, salt‐ and water‐deficit‐stress‐induced changes in gene expression may be effected by different mechanisms, at least at the level of polypeptide accumulation.

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
