The Role of Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 on the Control of Fall Webworm (Hyphantria cunea Drury) and Growth Promotion of Canadian Poplar (Populus canadensis Moench) at Saemangeum Reclaimed Land in Korea
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Populus canadensis Moench forests established in Saemangeum-reclaimed land have been invaded by Hyphantria cunea Drury, causing defoliation and stunted growth. This study investigated the biocontrol potential of cuticle degrading chitinase and protease secreted by Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 against H. cunea larvae. In addition, L. antibioticus HS124 was examined for indole-3-acetic acid phytohormone production for plant growth promotion. To determine the larvicidal activity in the laboratory experiments, crude enzymes, bacteria culture, CY medium, and water (control) were sprayed on the larvae reared on natural diet in insect rearing dishes. Treatment with crude enzymes and bacteria culture caused 76.7% and 66.7% larvae mortality, respectively. The larvae cuticle, mainly composed of chitin and proteins, was degraded by cuticle-degrading enzymes, chitinase, and protease in both the bacteria culture and crude enzyme treatments, causing swelling and disintegration of the cuticle. Field application of the bacteria culture was achieved by vehicle-mounted sprayer. Bacterial treatment caused morphological damage on the larvae cuticles and subsequent mortality. Foliar application of the bacteria culture reduced tree defoliation by H. cunea and enhanced growth compared to the control. Especially, L. antibioticus HS124 produced auxins, and increased growth of poplar trees.

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.
