title = "Functional Amyloids Germinate in Plants",
abstract = "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{\textquoteright} adaptation.",
