Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a sub-tropical crop which thrives in warm soils. In the Northern Great Plains, early spring seeding exposes soybean to cooler soil temperatures. Slower early-season development under cooler conditions may reduce competitiveness with adapted cool-season summer annual weeds, increasing yield loss risk from interference. Knowledge of critical temperature below which growth and development stops, referred to as base temperature ( Tb), could help breeders develop soybean cultivars that can extend their roots into cooler soils in early spring and compete better with weeds. Our objective was to determine the base temperature for root elongation ( TbRE) of 10 divergent, commercial soybean cultivars grown in Manitoba. Seeds of each cultivar were incubated at 25 °C for 3 days to germinate. Germinated seedlings were transferred to growth pouches. The growth pouches were placed in four growth chambers each set to a different temperature (i.e., 15, 20, 25, and 30 °C). The experiment was repeated three times. Root images were captured at the time of and every 2 days after transferring germinated seeds to the growth pouches. The x-intercept method was used to determine TbRE. There was a relatively large range in TbRE among the 10 soybean cultivars ranging from 8.1 to 13.2 °C and it was not related to the cultivar’s maturity grouping. Cultivars with lower TbRE are expected to be able to explore and occupy greater soil volume under cooler conditions. These observed result warrants further investigation in the field.

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.
