Optimizing axillary shoot culture as a short-term conservation method for American chestnut (<i>Castanea dentata</i>)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Protocols were investigated in the short-term conservation of Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh. to maximize axillary shoot multiplication rates at the genotype level and to reduce the incidence of shoot tip necrosis (STN). Factors investigated included explant growth stage (embryo, seedling, and mature stages) of the source material and two culture incubation temperatures (21 ± 1 °C and 31 ± 1 °C). Multiplication rate was measured across 22 genotypes. The role of 6-benzylaminopurine (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 μmol·L –1 ), calcium (3.0 and 6.0 mmol·L –1 ), boron (0.025 mmol·L –1 ), magnesium (3.0 mmol·L –1 ), and gelling agent (agar, 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 g·L –1 ; gellan gum, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 g·L –1 ) on STN was investigated. Genotypes derived from 4-month-old seedlings had the greatest overall multiplication rate (7.87 ± 0.38 at 6 weeks). Temperature affected multiplication rate in three of eight genotypes tested, with multiplication rate greater at 21 ± 1 °C for one genotype and greater at 31 ± 1 °C for two genotypes. Multiplication rates differed significantly between genotypes and ranged from 1.45× at 12 weeks to 13.25× at 6 weeks. Incidence of STN was decreased to 1.40% ± 0.02% at 4.0 μmol·L –1 6-benzylaminopurine. The development of an efficient axillary shoot culture system for C. dentata greatly benefits current conservation efforts.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
