<i>FLOURY ENDOSPERM11‐2</i> encodes plastid HSP70‐2 involved with the temperature‐dependent chalkiness of rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) grains
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Summary The frequent occurrence of chalky rice ( Oryza sativa L.) grains becomes a serious problem as a result of climate change. The molecular mechanism underlying chalkiness is largely unknown, however. In this study, the temperature‐sensitive floury endosperm11‐2 ( flo11‐2 ) mutant was isolated from ion beam‐irradiated rice of 1116 lines. The flo11‐2 mutant showed significantly higher chalkiness than the wild type grown under a mean temperature of 28°C, but similar levels of chalkiness to the wild type grown under a mean temperature of 24°C. Whole‐exome sequencing of the flo11‐2 mutant showed three causal gene candidates, including Os12g0244100 , which encodes the plastid‐localized 70‐kDa heat shock protein 2 (cpHSP70‐2). The cpHSP70‐2 of the flo11‐2 mutant has an amino acid substitution on the 259th aspartic acid with valine (D259V) in the conserved Motif 5 of the ATPase domain. Transgenic flo11‐2 mutants that express the wild‐type cpHSP70‐2 showed significantly lower chalkiness than the flo11‐2 mutant. Moreover, the accumulation level of cpHSP70‐2 was negatively correlated with the chalky ratio, indicating that cpHSP70‐2 is a causal gene for the chalkiness of the flo11‐2 mutant. The intrinsic ATPase activity of recombinant cpHSP70‐2 was lower by 23% at V max for the flo11‐2 mutant than for the wild type. The growth of DnaK‐defective Escherichia coli cells complemented with DnaK with the D201V mutation (equivalent to the D259V mutation) was severely reduced at 37°C, but not in the wild‐type DnaK. The results indicate that the lowered cpHSP70‐2 function is involved with the chalkiness of the flo11‐2 mutant.

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.
