Plant growth promotion and nitrogen fixation in canola (<i>Brassica napus</i>) by an endophytic strain of <i>Paenibacillus polymyxa</i> and its GFP-tagged derivative in a long-term study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Paenibacillus polymyxa P2b-2R is an endophytic strain capable of fixing nitrogen (N) and promoting growth in a broad range of hosts. In this study, the ability of Paenibacillus polymyxa P2b-2R to fix N and promote the growth of canola (Brassica napus L.) was determined in a 3-month-long trial. We also compared growth promoting and N-fixing capability of wild-type P2b-2R and its GFP-tagged counterpart. Canola seedlings were inoculated with strain P2b-2Rgfp or P2b-2R. Non-inoculated seedlings were used as controls. Canola seedlings were grown for 3 months before evaluating plant growth promotion (length, biomass, and pod mass) and N fixation (using foliar 15 N dilution assay). P2b-2Rgfp inoculation significantly promoted canola growth by increasing seedling length by 2-fold, biomass by 2.5-fold, and fixing 35% of its foliar N, respectively. P2b-2R inoculation also increased seedling length by 70%, biomass by 2-fold, and fixed 27% of N. Seedling biomass and length, and the amount of N fixed by P2b-2Rgfp-treated seedlings was significantly greater than the P2b-2R-treated seedlings. P2b-2R or P2b-2Rgfp inoculation also lead to an increase of pod mass (more than 50%), indicating that these strains might play a role in enhancing the yield of canola by acting as biofertilizer.

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.
