A recent study identified a functional amyloid in plants that plays a crucial role in seed longevity, indicating the universal utilization of amyloids in organisms' adaptation.
First identified in human disorders, amyloids serve biological functions in bacteria, archaea, fungi, and animals; however, their role in plants has remained unexplored. Recently, Antonets et al. identified a functional amyloid in plants, with a crucial role in seed longevity, confirming that amyloids are universally exploited for organisms' adaptation.
