Abstract
Viral diseases are an important threat to crop yield, as they are responsible for losses greater than US$30 billion annually. Thus, understanding the dynamics of virus propagation within plant cells is essential for devising effective control strategies. However, viruses are complex to propagate and quantify. Existing methodologies for viral quantification tend to be expensive and time-consuming. Here, we present a rapid cost-effective approach to quantify viral propagation using an engineered virus expressing a fluorescent reporter. Using a microplate reader, we measured viral protein levels and we validated our findings through comparison by western blot analysis of viral coat protein, the most common approach to quantify viral titer. Our proposed methodology provides a practical and accessible approach to studying virus-host interactions and could contribute to enhancing our understanding of plant virology.

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
