This chapter is intended to highlight recent advances, generic themes and gaps in our knowledge of the seed globulins of individual groups of plants and their evolution, that emerge from the following thirteen detailed descriptions. It is not intended to be a comprehensive review of seed globulins, for which the reader is referred to Derbyshire et al. (1976), Croy and Gatehouse (1985), Higgins (1984), Casey et al. (1986), Rerie et al. (1992) and Boulter and Croy (1997).
