https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small%20hydrophilic%20plant%20seed%20proteins | Plant seed proteins are small hydrophilic proteins. They represent a subset of late embryogenesis abundant proteins, of Dure subfamily D-19 or Bray group 1. These proteins contain from 73 to 153 amino acid residues and may play a role in equipping the seed for survival, maintaining a minimal level of hydration in the ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal%20number | In number theory an ideal number is an algebraic integer which represents an ideal in the ring of integers of a number field; the idea was developed by Ernst Kummer, and led to Richard Dedekind's definition of ideals for rings. An ideal in the ring of integers of an algebraic number field is principal if it consists of... |
