Cenozoic seeds of Vitaceae reveal a deep history of extinction and dispersal in the Neotropics

Fossil seeds (60 to 20 million years old) from Colombia, Panama and Perú show previously unrecognized patterns of diversity and local extinctions of grapes in the New World. These also support a tentative origin of Vitis in the New World.

The AAA+ chaperone VCP disaggregates Tau fibrils and generates aggregate seeds in a cellular system

Tau aggregates are associated with several neurodegenerative disorders. In this work, I. Saha and colleagues show that valosin-containing protein (VCP) recruited to Tau fibrils disaggregates them. However, this process comes at a cost: it generates seeding-active Tau species as byproduct.

Phase-contrast X-ray microtomography links Cretaceous seeds with Gnetales and Bennettitales

A relatively new imaging technique is used to reveal that some Cretaceous gymnosperm seeds have evolutionary links with Gnetales (an evolutionarily hard-to-place gymnosperm group with three living genera) and the Bennetitales (an extinct group of cycad-like plants). The link between Gnetales and Bennetitales may have important consequences for our understanding of the evolution of seed plants, including flowering plants.

Limits to reproduction and seed size-number trade-offs that shape forest dominance and future recovery

The relationships that control seed production in trees are key to understand evolutionary pressures that have shaped forests. A global synthesis of fecundity data reveals that while seed production is not constrained by a strict size-number trade-off, it is influenced by taxonomy and nutrient allocation.

Selective autophagy helps to degrade aggregated proteins accumulating in neurodegenerative diseases. Here, the authors show that NEMO, a ubiquitin binding protein previously linked to innate immune signaling, is recruited to misfolded proteins and promotes their autophagic clearance by forming condensates with the autophagy receptor p62.
