Embryonal degreening and seed longevity require plastid LEA proteins
Working model of how plastidial LEA proteins aid the remodelling of photosynthetic structures during degreening of Arabidopsis seed embryos. LEA42 and LEA48 support thylakoid proteostasis and membrane remodelling in embryonal cells during late seed maturation by maintaining a local physicochemical environment compatible with protein turnover and ...

Abstract Demographers have a rich understanding of the fertility transitions that have been observed in many contexts. Yet, we lack evidence to explain whether long‐run declines in fertility levels are accompanied by simultaneous changes in reproductive variability.

ABSTRACT Quinoa is a grain crop with excellent nutritional properties that has attracted global attention for its potential contribution to future food security in a changing climate. Despite its long history of cultivation, quinoa has been improved little by modern breeding and is a niche crop outside its native cultivation area.

Languages, Memory and Religion: The Literature of the Morisco Diaspora
ABSTRACT Literature written by the Moriscos during their diaspora in North Africa, especially in the 17th century, offers three fundamental pillars for its analysis: the languages in which it is written, their emotional and intellectual relationship with their land of origin and their host countries, and, finally, religion.

The Converso Diaspora and Iberian Empires
ABSTRACT Whereas there is no consensus among contemporary scholars in defining the Converso diaspora and its criteria of belonging, most of them highlighted its geographical, economic, cultural and political dependence on early modern Iberian empires.

The Cultural Evolution of Human Goals
Abstract Humans pursue remarkably diverse goals that vary over time and across cultures. These goals are both drivers and products of cultural evolutionary dynamics, yet most theories of cultural evolution have focused on the influence of culture on how individuals reach their goals, rather than on which goals they pursue.

Generalization of Motor Learning in Psychological Space
Abstract The capacity to generate adaptive movements largely depends on how we generalize what we have previously learned to novel situations. The generalization of adapted movements has typically been framed as a consequence of neural tuning functions that overlap for similar movement kinematics—what might be considered bottom‐up generalization ...

The role of extracellular vesicles in cell–cell crosstalk in cardiotoxicity
Abstract figure legend Administration of a pharmacological agent can result in off‐target cardiotoxicity which can be driven by cell–cell crosstalk between healthy and dysfunctional cardiac cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer structures that can move biological cargo between cells, facilitating cell–cell crosstalk.

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Hitting Coronaviruses Where It Hurts: Antiviral Strategies Targeting Viral Proteins
Viral proteins represent key vulnerabilities in human coronaviruses (HCoVs). This review outlines inhibitors targeting spike (S), main protease (Mpro), papain‐like protease (PLpro), and RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), mapping chemically diverse strategies that disrupt entry and replication, and provides an integrated view of current candidates ...
