<i>ShHTL7</i> requires functional brassinosteroid signaling to initiate GA-independent germination
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, two mutually antagonistic hormones regulate germination: abscisic acid (ABA) which promotes dormancy and gibberellins (GA) which breaks dormancy. Mutants auxotrophic for or insensitive to GA do not germinate. However, changes in the signaling flux through other hormone pathways will permit GA-independent germination. These changes include increased brassinosteroid (BR) signaling and decreased ABA signaling. Recently, strigolactone (SL) was also shown to enable GA-independent germination, provided the seeds express the SL receptor ShHTL7 from the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica. Here we show that a mutation which reduces sensitivity to BR (bri1-6) prevents ShHTL7 from promoting GA-independent germination. Further, we show that neither ShHTL7 nor the constitutive karrikin signaling mutant smax1-2 confer insensitivity to ABA. These results suggest ShHTL7 requires functional BR perception to bypass the GA requirement for germination.

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.
