Abstract
Fatty acids (FAs) and sterols constitute building blocks of eukaryotic membranes and lipid signals. Co-regulation of FA and sterol synthesis is mediated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins in animals but remains elusive in plants. We reported recently that Arabidopsis ACYL-COA-BINDING PROTEIN1 (ACBP1) modulates sterol synthesis via protein-protein interaction with STEROL C4-METHYL OXIDASE1-1 (SMO1-1). Herein, ACBP1 was demonstrated to co-express and interact with SMO1-2 by yeast two-hybrid, co-localization, pull-down, co-immunoprecipitation and β-glucuronidase assays. SMO1-2 silenced in acbp1 was used in phenotyping, GC-MS and expression profiling. ACBP1 co-expressed with SMO1-2 in embryo sacs, pollen and trichomes, corroborating with cooperative tissue-specific functions unseen with SMO1-1. SMO1-2 silencing in acbp1 impaired seed development, male and female gamete transmission, and pollen function. Genes encoding homeodomain-leucine zipper IV transcription factors (HDG5, HDG10, HDG11 and GLABRA2), which potentially bind phospholipids/sterols, were transcribed aberrantly. GLABRA2 targets (MYB23, MUM4 and PLDα1) were misregulated, causing glabra2-resembling trichome, seed coat mucilage and oil-accumulating phenotypes. Together with altered sterol and FA compositions upon ACBP1 mutation and/or SMO1-2 silencing, ACBP1-SMO1 interaction appears to mediate homeostatic co-regulation of FAs and sterols, which serve as lipid modulators for gene expression of homeodomain-leucine zipper IV transcription factors.

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.
