Semipermeability of Seed Coats [PDF]
Botanical Gazette, 1913 1. The dry seed coats of Xanthium are impermeable to dry alcohol, ether, chloroform, and acetone. Becquerel'S results with the coats of other seeds are confirmed. 2. Evidence of the diffusion of oxygen through absolutely dry seed coats was not obtained. 3.

Biomechanical, biochemical, and morphological mechanisms of heat shock-mediated germination in Carica papaya seed. [PDF]
, 2016 Carica papaya (papaya) seed germinate readily fresh from the fruit, but desiccation induces a dormant state. Dormancy can be released by exposure of the hydrated seed to a pulse of elevated temperature, typical of that encountered in its tropical habitat.

Signalling events regulating seed coat development
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2014 The evolution of seeds was a major reason for the rise of angiosperms to ecological dominance. Seeds of angiosperms are composed of three main structures: the embryo, which will give rise to the next generation; the endosperm, a nurturing tissue whose main function is to deliver nutrients from the mother plant to the embryo; and the seed coat (or testa)

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in
