Defects in Glabrous 3 (<scp>GL3</scp>) functionality underlie the absence of trichomes in <i>Brassica napus</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previously, expression of the Arabidopsis thaliana GLABRA3 (GL3) induced trichome formation in Brassica napus. GL3 orthologues were examined from glabrous (B. oleracea), semi-glabrous (B. napus), moderately hirsute (B. rapa), and very hirsute (B. villosa) Brassica species. Ectopic expression of BnGL3, BrGL3 alleles, or BvGL3 induced trichome formation in glabrous B. napus with the effect on trichome number commensurate with density in the original accessions. Chimeric GL3 proteins in which the B. napus amino terminal region, which interacts with MYB proteins, or the middle region, which interacts with the WD40 protein TTG1, was exchanged with corresponding regions from A. thaliana were as stimulatory to trichome production as AtGL3. Exchange of the carboxy-terminal region containing a bHLH domain and an ACT domain did not alter the trichome stimulatory activity, although modeling of the ACT domain identified differences that could affect GL3 dimerization. B. napus A- and C-genomes orthologues differed in their abilities to form homo- and heterodimers. Modeling of the amino-terminal region revealed a conserved domain that may represent the MYB factor binding pocket. This region interacted with the MYB factors GL1, CPC, and TRY, as well as with JAZ8, which is involved in jasmonic acid-mediated regulation of MYC-like transcription factors. Protein interaction studies indicated that GL1 interaction with GL3 from B. napus and A. thaliana may underlie the difference in their respective abilities to induce trichome formation.

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.
