Multigene differences between<i>Microdochium nivale</i>and<i>Microdochium majus</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Microdochium nivale (Fr.) Samuels & Hallett and Microdochium majus (Wollenw.) Glynn & S.G. Edwards are sister species that cause diseases on grasses and cereals at low temperatures. The DNA sequences of RPB2 (RNA polymerase II), β-tubulin, EF-1α (elongation factor), and ITS (rDNA internal transcribed spacer) from these groups were analysed to compare the extent of differences between these species, among isolates from Europe compared with those from North America, and among isolates of M. nivale originally collected from Agrostis spp. compared with isolates from wheat (Triticum aestivum). All of the regions studied except for ITS resolved M. nivale and M. majus isolates into separate clades. The RPB2 sequences also resolved both the North American and European M. majus isolates and M. nivale isolates from either turfgrasses or wheat into separate clades. These results support the recent elevation of M. nivale and M.majus to sister species and also provide some support for the assertion that there may be host-specific differences among M. nivale, which has a wider host range than M. majus.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
