Transcriptional dynamics during karyogamy in rice zygotes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Upon fertilization, male and female nuclei fuse to form the zygotic nucleus in angiosperms. Karyogamy is considered to be essential for proper embryogenesis; however, the transcriptional dynamics during karyogamy in plant zygotes remain unclear. In this study, we performed a single-cell transcriptome analysis of rice zygotes at six early developmental stages (15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h after gamete fusion) to reveal gene expression profiles during karyogamy in plant zygotes. The time-series RNA-sequencing analysis detected possible de novo and altered gene expression in zygotes from 15 min post-fertilization. Fertilization-induced transcription during karyogamy was characterized by protein interaction database and gene ontology (GO) analyses. Furthermore, paternal allele transcription was initiated approximately 30 min to 1 h after gamete fusion, when nuclear fusion begins in the zygote. Some transcripts preferentially expressed in egg cells were downregulated after gamete fusion. Moreover, a dynamic shift from maternal-biased transcripts to bi-parental expression occurred during early zygotic development. These results suggest that transcriptional dynamics during karyogamy plays an initial role in proper and sequential zygotic development and embryogenesis.

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.
