Sieve element traits differ in pulvini and petioles of <i>Mimosa</i> (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae) with different types of leaf movement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The vascular system, particularly the phloem, has been considered a key issue in driving the pulvini functioning. Studies comparing phloem in different leaf regions and in plants with different leaf movement types can help clarifying the aspects involved in the pulvini functioning. Here, we investigated the morphological traits of the sieve tube elements in a comparative way between pulvini and petioles of Mimosa pudica L. (a legume with fast leaf movements) and Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Benth. (a legume with slow leaf movements). Pulvini and petioles were analyzed under light and transmission electron microscopy. Sieve elements in pulvini had thicker walls than those of petioles, especially in M. pudica. Nacreous walls occurred in the sieve elements of M. pudica pulvini. Dispersive and non-dispersive P-proteins and P-plastids occurred in the pulvini and petioles of both species. The marked differences in the lumen area and cell wall features of the sieve elements between pulvini and petiole indicate the specialization of the phloem in the pulvinus functioning.

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.
