Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Questions in developmental biology are most frequently addressed by using fluorescent markers of otherwise invisible cell states. In plants, such questions can be addressed most conveniently in leaves. Indeed, from the formation of stomata and trichomes within the leaf epidermis to that of vein networks deep into the leaf inner tissue, leaf cells and tissues differentiate anew during the development of each leaf. Moreover, leaves are produced in abundance and are easily accessible to visualization and perturbation. Yet a detailed procedure for the perturbation, dissection, mounting, and imaging of developing leaves has not been described. Here we address this limitation (1) by providing robust, step-by-step protocols for the local application of the plant hormone auxin to developing leaves and for the routine dissection and mounting of leaves and leaf primordia, and (2) by offering practical guidelines for the optimization of imaging parameters for confocal microscopy. We describe the procedure for the first leaves of Arabidopsis, but the same approach can be easily applied to other leaves of Arabidopsis or to leaves of other plants. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
