Observations on the curvature of Physcomitrium patens (Hedw.) Mitt. and Funaria hygrometrica (Hedw.) caulonemal filaments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Light-grown, whole gametophytic colonies of Physcomitrium (formerly Physcomitrella) patens (Hedw.) Mitt. exhibit a spiral morphology resulting from the strongly coordinated curvature of the population of peripheral caulonemal filaments. The direction of curvature is predominantly clockwise when cultures are illuminated from above and anticlockwise when illuminated from below. In P. patens, side branch initials (SBIs) emerge from caulonemal subapical cells on the outside of the curve. By contrast, the curvature of caulonemata of Funaria hygrometrica is predominantly anticlockwise when colonies are illuminated from above and clockwise when illuminated from below. In F. hygrometrica, SBIs emerge from caulonemal subapical cells on the inside of the curve. We have discounted a role for gravity in these phenomena and discuss several other possible mechanistic explanations. We also document for the first time thigmotropism of protonemata of P. patens.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
