Claim
In Arabidopsis seedlings, mechanical injury to one lateral root produces membrane depolarizations in neighboring lateral roots within milliseconds.
Topics
Assessment
Supported
Main unresolved issue: 2 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:7c6061da-302f-889f-bacd-311709109baa
Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.
Why?
Strongest counted support: The primary study reports neighboring-root depolarizations within milliseconds and implicates MCA1 channels in long-distance wound communication. weight 1.800000 evidence
Suppressed as dependent: The passage directly states that neighboring Arabidopsis lateral roots showed depolarizations within milliseconds after mechanical injury.
Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed
What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Unresolved.

Threads
None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
Claim edges
None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
