Abstract
ABSTRACT In semi-arid regions, water deficit occurs for long periods, but the adaptation mechanisms developed by endemic species are little known. The objective of this study was to determine the tolerance of Luetzelburguia auriculata (Allemão) Ducke seedlings to water stress regarding germination and seedling establishment related to seeds’ mass. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme, with two classes of seeds (light < 0.35 g and heavy ≥ 0.35 g) and five osmotic potential levels (-0.2; -0.4; -0.6; -0.8 and -1.0 MPa), distributed in four replications of 25 seeds per plot. The following parameters were evaluated: germination rate (GR), first germination count (FGC), germination speed index (GSI), mean germination time (MGT), root length (RL), fresh and cotyledon dry mass (CFM/CDM) and fresh and dry root mass (RFM/RDM). As the osmotic potential became more negative, there was a reduction in physiological variables. The heavy seeds (≥ 0.35 g) showed increases when compared to light seeds (<0.35 g), of 15.73, 22.94, 15.02, 23.33, 31.43, 21.43% for the variables GR, FGC, RL, CFM, CDM and RFM, respectively. Therefore, heavy seeds are more tolerant to water stress and should be prioritized for the recovery of degraded areas, especially in places with low rainfall.

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 it
