Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ericaceous plants, including high-value fruit crops, harbor phylogenetically diverse fungal endophytes. A collection of ∼350 fungal endophytes from Canadian fruit-bearing plants was generated to investigate the taxonomic and secondary metabolite diversity of these poorly studied fungi. A putatively novel species of Protoventuria was isolated as an endophyte from a cranberry ( Vaccinium macrocarpon ) leaf in Central Ontario promoting an investigation of its secondary metabolites. From this fungus, two new naphthalenes, protoventurenes A and B ( 1 – 2 ), were characterized by LC-HRMS and NMR spectroscopy. Two additional structurally similar metabolites were also identified, the naphtalenone fragranone ( 3 ), previously reported from a shrub in Thailand, and the phenalenone derivative lamellicolic anhydride ( 4 ) originally from Verticillium lamellicola . Metabolites 1 – 4 inhibited the growth of the plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea with a 100-µg dose, and protoventurene B ( 2 ) inhibited Colletotrichum gloeosporioides at the same concentration. The investigation of ericaceous endophytes continues to reveal ecologically unique fungi and their new secondary metabolites.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
