SEEDS AND SEED BANKS [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1987
SummaryThe involvement of four factors (life history, predation, possession of a persistent seed bank and seedling establishment) in the evolution of seed size in flowering plants is discussed. Among herbacaeous plants, biennials seem to have larger seeds than annuals and perennials, a difference which may explain the capacity of some biennials to ...

Heterologous prion-forming proteins interact to cross-seed aggregation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

, 2017
The early stages of protein misfolding remain incompletely understood, as most mammalian proteinopathies are only detected after irreversible protein aggregates have formed.
