Auxin–ethylene interaction in transversal and longitudinal growth in maize primary root
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The auxin—ethylene interaction in regulating root elongation and radial expansion was analysed through the application of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1- carboxylic acid (ACC) and the synthetic auxin 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). NAA and ACC, in the concentration range of 0.01–0.1 μmol/L and 1–5 μmol/L, respectively, inhibited root elongation and increased root diameter in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of auxin on root elongation was increased by ethylene applied at low as well as high concentrations. Auxin-induced radial expansion was also enhanced by ethylene, although this effect depended on the level of auxin applied. In the presence of very low exogenous auxin (0.01 μmol/L NAA), ethylene stimulated radial growth at both low and high levels (1–5 μmol/L ACC), whereas the effect of higher auxin concentrations (>0.025 μmol/L NAA) was only enhanced by high ethylene production (5 μmol/L ACC). Interaction was analysed by two-way ANOVA; the results showed that both the effect of each hormone and the interactions responsible for controlling elongation and radial expansion were concentration-dependent. The relative effects of auxin and ethylene on the two growth parameters were also analysed; they showed different types of behaviour. In summary, the results obtained suggest that auxin is the main hormone involved in regulating root growth but that ethylene may modulate its effects. Our research also suggests that root elongation and radial expansion may be independently regulated despite being closely related.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
