Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Verticillium stripe disease is an emerging threat to canola production in Western Canada. Accurately assessing verticillium stripe resistance in breeding germplasm collections is crucial for identifying sources of genetic resistance. Currently, field phenotyping is the most widely used method for evaluating verticillium stripe resistance; however, achieving uniform disease pressure under field conditions presents significant challenges. Here we report a novel controlled environment (CE) soil-less assay for the rapid evaluation of verticillium stripe resistance in canola. The CE results were validated in a field trial which showed a strong correlation between the field data and the CE results. This cost-effective and time-efficient assay enables accurate assessment of verticillium stripe symptoms in a one-month testing cycle.

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.
