Generics favor stability

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Humans seek to predict, explain, and control their environments. Generalizations—like those expressed by “children like candy” and “cigarettes cause cancer”—provide one resource to facilitate these tasks. We develop a proposal tying the acceptability judgments of generics to the psychological functions of generalizations.

Identification of Critical Amino Acid Residues Required for the Polar Localization of a Rice Manganese Transporter

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice has developed an efficient system for manganese (Mn) uptake, mediated by two distinct transporters, OsNramp5 and OsMTP9. These transporters exhibit polar localization at the root exodermis and endodermis; however, the mechanisms underlying their polar localization and their role in Mn uptake remain unclear.
