Abstract Background European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees produce seeds irregularly;
therefore, it is necessary to store beech seeds for forestation. Despite the acquisition of …

Beech seeds are produced irregularly, and there is a need for long-term storage of these
seeds for forest management practices. Accumulated reactive oxygen species broadly …

In recent years, several reports pointed out the role of protein oxidation in seed longevity,
notably regarding the oxidation of methionine (Met) residues to methionine sulfoxide (MetO) …

Seeds are the basis of propagation for the common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), but the seed
set of the beech is unsteady, with 5–10 years between abundant crops. Beech seeds are …

Leaf senescence is the last stage of leaf development that re-mobilizes nutrients from the
source to sink. Here, we have utilized the soybean as a model system to unravel …

Seed aging is one of the major events, affecting the overall quality of agricultural seeds. To
analyze the effect of seed aging, soybean seeds were exposed to controlled deterioration …

Aging is one of the most fundamental biological processes occurring in all forms of
eukaryotic life. Beech trees (Fagus sylvatica L.) produce seeds in intervals of 5–10 years. Its …

The common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is propagated by seeds, but the seed set is irregular
with five to ten years in between crops. It is therefore necessary to store the seeds. However …

Seeds are in a natural oxidative context leading to protein oxidation. Although inevitable for
proper progression from maturation to germination, protein oxidation at high levels is …

Previous understanding of the mechanism of seed ageing is largely based on observations
on imbibed seeds rather than dry seeds. The present research was conducted to investigate …
