Fusaric acid instigates the invasion of banana by <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>cubense </i><scp>TR</scp>4
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Summary Fusaric acid ( FSA ) is a phytotoxin produced by several Fusarium species and has been associated with plant disease development, although its role is still not well understood. Mutation of key genes in the FSA biosynthetic gene ( FUB ) cluster in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 ( Foc TR 4) reduced the FSA production, and resulted in decreased disease symptoms and reduced fungal biomass in the host banana plants. When pretreated with FSA , both banana leaves and pseudostems exhibited increased sensitivity to Foc TR 4 invasion. Banana embryogenic cell suspensions ( ECS s) treated with FSA exhibited a lower rate of O 2 uptake, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, increased reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) accumulation, and greater nuclear condensation and cell death. Consistently, transcriptomic analysis of FSA ‐treated ECS s showed that FSA may induce plant cell death through regulating the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial functions. The results herein demonstrated that the FSA from Foc TR 4 functions as a positive virulence factor and acts at the early stage of the disease development before the appearance of the fungal hyphae in the infected tissues.

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.
