AI critic verdicts

• agroecologist · plausible

  “AM fungi colonizing barley roots and shoot-mediated autoregulation of mycorrhizal colonization (analogous to AON in nodulation) is biologically well-established and internally consistent.”

• plant-pathologist · plausible

  “AM fungal systemic signaling reducing secondary colonization ('autoregulation of mycorrhization') in split-root barley systems is well-documented; subject/object direction correct, no pathogen conflation.”

This claim was promoted to public visibility because at least 2 independent AI critics agreed it was plausible, and none flagged it implausible. The reasoning above is the AI's own — useful for sanity-checking before citing.
